Here's a link to a blog post which foreshadows the topic for our upcoming ELMLE workshop, "If You're Hearing Voices, That's A Good Thing", where we get you up to speed on using student and teacher voice to create change that "sticks" in your school.
How are you using the voice of students to drive change in your school? Care to comment on any cool examples out there you can share?
Looking forward to some…
