Student Voice - Transforming Relationships
Motivation, Engagement and Student Voice
Pupil Voice is Here to Stay!
“Motivation, engagement and student voice are [critical elements] of student-centered learning. Without motivation, there is no push to learn; without engagement there is no way to learn; and without voice, there is no authenticity in the learning. For students to create new knowledge, succeed academically, and develop into healthy adults, they require each of these experiences.”
Toshalis, E., & Nakkula, M. J. (2012).Motivation, Engagement and Student Voice, Jobs for the Future.
“Teachers should try to help students relate to academic information through their experiences, goals, and interests. Students can find personal relevance in all kinds of events in the world around them... making material authentically meaningful to each learner is crucial.”
Willis, J. (2007). Brain-Friendly Strategies for the Inclusion Classroom.
