This book explores meaningful and effective use of student voice in
urban school renewal efforts through strategies that include:
surveys, interviews, focus groups, visual and video projects,
social media, and student participation in governance. Chapters
provide a definition of student voice, context for public schooling
in the United States, and introduce a framework for including
student voice in school renewal processes. Examples guide readers
to implementation of the framework to include student voices in
diverse educational settings. Authentic voices of approximately 175
students interviewed by the authors express what it is that they
really want from public schools and how pre K-12 educators can
provide a structure for ongoing student participation in governance
and the work of the school. The existing literature explores
student characteristics such as poverty, cultural diversity, and
what the experts believe students need public schools to provide.
Within the research, urban public schools and technical reform are
often explored and examined separately from conversations about
what students want from schools, excluding opportunities for their
voices and diverse perspectives to be heard. Listening to students
describe instances of bullying or teachers' low academic
expectations provides educators with opportunities to address
issues that impede student learning. The uniqueness of this
framework for including student voice is that it provides multiple
opportunities for students in any grade level to tell us what it is
they want from public schools, and to make meaningful and lasting
contributions to school renewal efforts.
