Questions?
Within your cluster, take a few minutes
think of a question you would like to
ask your student voice colleagues
about your project. Are you looking for
a resource? Do you have a challenge
you would like input on? Do you want
some feedback on an idea?
Once you have a question, “raise your
hand” and we will call on to you take
the mic.

10. How can we celebrate and scale our student
voice projects?

11. Increasing Project Visibility:
Whiteboard Activity
On the whiteboard, share your ideas of how to celebrate and scale our
student voice projects by answering the question:
How can we support students to make their
project visible within our school and wider
community?

12. How might students evolve the project to have a
long-term impact?

13. Chris Dede: 5 Dimensional Model
for Scaling Up
● Depth: What is the cause of its effectiveness? What aspects are crucial and which parts
can be altered without reducing impact? Improving depth can make a project more
desirable to others by increasing its power.
● Sustainability: Can the project be replicated next year in your classroom? Other
classrooms? Other Schools? Can others adapt the project to the own learning
environments?
● Spread: Does it require a lot of resources? Is it easy to replicate with existing resources?
● Shift: Does it allow others to claim ownership over their own versions of the project?
● Evolution: Projects evolve - how will you evaluate the changes and see what is/not
working? Adapted from: http://www.edutopia.org/scale-processes-replication-strategy

22. Cluster Activity
1) Start your project page in the Student Voice virtual classroom. You can do this by
clicking on Projects → Add to Projects. This is an evolving page - be sure to
update the page as your project progresses. If you are collaborating with another
educator, you will only need to create one project page and you can identify in the
submission form who you are collaborating with.
2) Complete the student voice post-course survey:

learning
journey

“instructions” and work together, students can build something
inspired and new...they will go above and beyond.
