I get to know my kids and give them time to get to know each other. They learn about themselves and each other to discover how they are the same and different. They help each other to guide their learning

A group of sixth grade students are in charge of every assembly at our school. The teacher sponsor's role is to pave the way for them. Not only do the students plan the assemblies, they send out communication to teachers, they run the assemblies, and they live stream the events so our whole community can participate!

Two girls at my school asked if they could organize an event to honor two of our community members struggling with cancer. They designed a school-wide activity where each classroom wrote a book (they assigned topics to each grade level). The finished books were then donated to the Children's Hospital. :-)

My students have the flexibility to sit where they want (floor, desk, Hokki stools, pillow, or standing), which has shown them the beginnings of advocating for their needs.

In my classroom, I always solicit feedback and input from my students about what activities we're doing, what topics we're covering, and how we're getting our learning done.

Kids video blog about things that are important to them, or about artwork that they create.

It's easy to listen to students, but the power of student voice is the action that comes from their feedback and ideas. We need to be sure to empower students by truly taking action based on what they tell us. Let them know they own their future and education!

Remind myself to get out of students' way: open doors, rather than close them. Less about 'giving' voice to students than creating spaces that their voices may fill, inviting those voices.

I taught my students some great discussion habits and skills using this: https://www.edutopia.org/practice/oracy-classroom-strategies-effective-talk
And now my students can share their opinions with each other, disagree respectfully, articulate their thoughts so they can have a voice with their peers, and with me.

I direct the performing arts club at my school.  In recent years, I have backed off and let a student group take the lead.  These students apply and interview for the position.  They make all the decisions (budget, songs, choreography, supply orders, etc.) and I just support them.  It has made a huge difference!  The kids feel like they are owners of the experience.  :-)
