 * **Soundout** || **21C Education Film Series** || **Videos** || **Articles** ||
 * * Too much on here to pull out key aspects
 * Need to filter what you are looking for

 * Well worth it if you are looking for particular articles about student voice
 * Making connections between all the elements of student voice that encompass and engage our learner and make it clear for teachers
 * Making connections between all the elements of student voice that encompass and engage our learner and make it clear for teachers


 * Roger Hart's Ladder**
 * A definition around thinking
 * Emotive language
 * Gave a starting point - give students opportunities to get to the top of the ladder
 * What is the students perception of where we are on the ladder
 * Adhoc approach to the ladder -reach rung 8 in some areas - but lack of consistency in applying to all
 * What are the stages we go through to get to the top - facilitate learning process rather than control it - many ways to get to the skills that need to be achieved || * Teaching is industrial area approach,student voice is 21C
 * Need for clarity around the language and definition of student voice in a particular situation, fluid definition


 * Service Learning**
 * Groups of chn working for the good of someone else in the community - local or global
 * Engagement higher, particularly in low socio-economic groups of students
 * Changing the culture of your school - these are opportunities to learn as much as working in classrooms
 * Authentic learning taking place through these service projects
 * Reminding students through the learning journey about the skills they are learning
 * Neil O'Reilly - NZC. Stella Maris happy to share ideas and resources around this || * What we need for our students is teaching around key competencies and learning behaviours
 * 21C learning - not knowing what the world will look like - simple picture of student voice. Great vehicle for opening up a conversation with staff around student voice
 * Digital native vs digital immigrant - scary for teachers to get past, uncomfortable with using the tools of 21C
 * Notion that you can teach students language through digital tools. Element of student voice that includes the strategies that teach teachers how to access student voice.
 * Not about reading, writing and maths, but rather the skills students need to do this - changing the focus in learning intentions to include learning behaviours. Making students aware of what they are doing.
 * Shifting in literacies - changing tools for effective communication
 * Not just about student voice, but need to look at the scaffolds for teachers that will enable them to be confident - teacher voice is an aspect of student voice - can't do one without the other, need to be together. Don't learn without a level of anxiety
 * Students are not an homogeneous group = student voices || * Reflecting on goals, strategies
 * Educators modeling their own approaches to learning
 * Student voice promoted using the NZC
 * Student voice - difference between what teachers think students are learning and what students believe they are learning
 * Shift in locus of control but a shared journey
 * Ontario - defining student voice by asking students. Nine points students believe are important - "SpeakUp Project"
 * Reflected the ideas of really hearing from students what it is that interests them
 * Student forums - share ideas about curriculum and leadership
 * Students connect with groups of students for global learning - authentic problems ||
 * What is the purpose of this group? What is our "end in mind"? What do we want from our day with the students?**
