#fcpslearn is a weekly chat about teaching and learning. Our focus is on creativity, innovation and inspiration. We discuss a range of educational topics that range from technology integration to the Olympics.
A1: To me, student voice is giving students a place at the planning table and gifting them creative license in creating their best learning. If they are the learners, they should decide the HOW... #fcpslearn
A1 Student Voice, to me, means that students are asked for their opinions, thoughts, questions, and ideas - and their voices are acted upon! #fcpslearn
#fcpslearn A1 For me, it's having ownership and some autonomy in the path of my learning. That doesn't mean I learn whatever I want and nothing else. But offering choice/voice throughout the path, supported by & lrng from feedback.

A1: It's something other than a mere regurgitation of what the teacher thinks. It comes from the hearts and minds of Ss - a fresh perspective. #fcpslearn
A1: Student voice is giving ALL students the opportunity to express themselves...which can be challenging sometimes based on personalities, behaviors, etc. #fcpslearn

Wow! I especially love "ongoing" and "valued." After all, what's the point in having a chance to give your ideas if they're temporary or disregarded? #fcpslearn
#fcpslearn A2 The focus allows us to sharpen skills that our Ss will need beyond k-12: Metacognition, self assessment, decision-making, communication...
A2: Our students are the ones doing the learning and growing. Not including them would miss so much direction and engagement. Student Voice create the life in the learning. #fcpslearn
A2: It allows us to see beyond our own perceptions and to see what students are thinking and experiencing. This gives us an opportunity to form stronger relationships with students because we can better understand their viewpoints #fcpslearn
We need to help our students unlearn the script of teacher speaks and is in charge and students are there to be silent and suck in the learning... #fcpslearn

A3: Not all students give their voice the same way...Some need prompting, others do not. Some offer their voices in silent manners and in small groups. Some need to simply be watched.

A2 The lives our kids will live will be very diff from mine. They'll need other things than I was given as a S. In our inquiry-sch, we give authentic experiences from various perspectives - mathematicians, geologists, researchers. Ss need to know how to communicate. #fcpslearn

A3~ might involve oral communication responses on any given topic @Flipgrid@Buncee creation boards to show Learning ... role plays for word choice ... lyrics in a song ... charades β€οΈ#fcpslearn
A3: Student voice is as unique as our students. Itβs not going to look the same so we need to give students a variety of ways to express themselves. (Introvert here!! ππΌββοΈπ¬) #fcpslearn
A4: I use the Google Platform to communicate with my students, have them communicate with each other...Of course, @Flipgrid gets them brainstorming in a wonderful way! #fcpslearn

A3 Looks like:
*Tchg a graph interpreting people's opinions from 1
*Sharg a wrtg pc on T'giving from another
*Telling abt a bad dream (for 1) & for another, patting shoulder & consoling.
Diff kids need diff things - empathy, kindness, a chance to speak, listening ear. #fcpslearn
A5: Reflection gives us the opportunity to look at what we are doing from the outside looking in without judgement. It teaches us about us... Feedback comes from outside and guides us to reflect. #fcpslearn
A5: Reflection and feedback are essential as they enable us to enhance our lessons and our practice to best meet the needs of all of our learners. I teach the same things 5 times/week and each lesson looks slightly different based on my reflections #fcpslearn
A4 I'm def lrng here! We leverage S voice by ensuring that ea child has an opportunity to speak - whether it's during our daily Mrng Share, using random cup to call on all kids regularly, sharing Wrtg pieces & kids calling for ?s & comments. (Mostly low-tech for me!) #fcpslearn
