We’ve found some great resources for you, created a student voice audit tool and been doing some thinking about why democracy in schools is so important.

I just read this really interesting article on how schools in Colorado are finding that in the quest to raise standards and achievement that data alone is a blunt tool; student voice sharpens this. Their recommendations are excellent, especially: Utilize student-led outreach to capture feedback from disengaged students. Have a read: http://blog.ednewscolorado.org/2010/01/05/in-r2t-student-voice-will-sharpen-blunt-instruments/
Should school councils be about ‘improving the school’ or ‘representing the views of all pupils’. Generally the two are inter-dependent, but which one takes primacy if there is a (perceived) conflict?
Slovakian adventure!
Oct 6
I’m back in London, via Vienna, after an amazing time in Kosice, Slovakia. It was a very inspiring and interesting three days.
Great to hear about the challenges, successes and stories of people in other countries who are broadly trying to do the same things as us in the UK. Great to meet so many motivated, passionate young people. Great to visit Slovakia for the first time – it is a beautiful country!
Slovakia Day 1
Oct 1
In the UK, the idea behind student voice is pretty much considered a good one (just not a lot of people do it well), whereas in Slovakia the whole idea of genuine representative democracy is much newer, and far less popular.
We’re approaching the end of the pupil voice research we’ve been carrying out for the DCSF and SSAT.
We’ve also been invited to a student voice event in Slovakia.
A student from the States (I guess) plans, commits and is punished for school council election fraud and Tweets the whole thing as it’s going.
