Engaging Student Voice in Teachers' inquiries
Key Points
Engaging with student voice in teaching inquiries can:- promote trust and a sense of meaningful partnership between teachers and students when teachers have been genuine in their efforts to involve students in their inquiry
- reveal surprises about what is happening in the classroom, thereby potentially challenging teachers’ assumptions and prompting modifications to their practice
- offer a diversity of viewpoints in ways that challenge assumptions that students are a homogenous group and direct attention to students’ heterogeneity
- provide students with a sense of agency and help develop their learning relationships with others.

When students understand the learning and learning steps there is a development of agency and accountability. While teachers and leaders have a sense of accountability there is also as need to develop accountability in the minds of students as well.
