Student voice in our schools? How will the PLC feed into this? Christine - co-construction with all members involved. Comfortable going into a student voice day with a couple of constructive questions about student learning and hearing from the students. Eg Student voice is about hearing what you think about learning and how you are participating in your learning - feedback from students. They are capable of giving informed and intuitive responses. Bridget - workshop or discussion day?? Jonathon - should we have a workshop in our own schools and feed this back to our PLC so we have something to work with? Chic - workshop not the right label. The day is about gathering what students are thinking - voice, ideas Mark - At the end of the process I want to be clearer in my own head what student voice is, and how it links in a real way with student learning outcomes in our school Chic - We want what we learn about student voice to impact on teaching practice Kay - An insight into what is behind chn's thinking around learning? What excites them? Why they need to learn? Bridget -Different socio-economic groups to be able to share and get a diverse viewpoint Charmaine - Overarching question - where did you go to get that answer Chic - lots of different grouping formats - hitchhiking, gathering different points of view Catherine - Key competencies - articulation, participating, contributing Mark - the role of the teacher in your learning - also feedback on this at the end of the year
