The document discusses student voice and its importance in schools. Student voice refers to valuing students' experiences, opinions, and ideas in all aspects of school life. Encouraging student voice increases student achievement and engagement by giving students ownership over their learning and school community. Some ways to develop student voice include giving students opportunities to share in the classroom, using tools like Vocaroo for voice recordings, QR codes, Google Forms for feedback, and commenting features to get student perspectives.

2. What is Student Voice?
"Student Voice" describes students giving their voice to what happens
within the school and classroom. We want to encourage students to
know that their experiences, opinions and ideas are valued in all
aspects of school life.
Student Voice can feature in all aspects of our class work, from
students participating in small group classroom conversations to
students joining in curriculum design or developing school policy.

3. Why is Student Voice Important?
We know that student achievement and engagement will
increase when students have more ownership of their
school community and of their learning.

4. Encouraging student voice.
In order for students to “develop a voice” we need to give them
multiple opportunties to share experiences, opinions, ideas
so that we build student confidence and normalise sharing.
We need to ensure we share in a range of ways and allow everyones
voice to be heard.
