Centering Student Voice: Re-envisioning Schools and Leadership
In order to focus on school improvement, equity based school leaders need to have not only a clear instructional vision, but have a vision for what they want for their students' learning experiences. During the session, you will engage with the story of school and district administrators that center student voices as part of their leadership practice, especially students with marginalized identities. You’ll hear the story of leaders from both rural and urban settings reflecting on student focus groups and reflecting on what they learned to develop a cohesive vision for student learning. During the session you’ll also have the opportunity to analyze your own school/district’s vision light of artifacts from a school, student interview protocols, a research based visioning tool.
