Classrooms where student voices count encourage students to be more engaged with their learning, and to connect to important issues. In this timely book, teachers will learn how to inspire students to buy into their own learning by giving them a voice in determining, organizing, and responding to what is happening in the classroom. The book offers practical strategies that will engage students in thoughtful dialogue and discussion as a class, in groups, and with partners. Students will learn to recognize when they have a voice, when they are marginalized, and what they can do about being heard.
