It’s really seeing student involvement … as a variety of opportunities that are appropriate for each given student and responsive to their individual needs and their desires for their educational experience.
For every young person living on the streets tonight, there are many at home zoning out inside their homes through video games, and even more who disengage from school.
The outcome of this culture of discrimination is that young people are routinely denied the roles in society they can, should, and need to be occupying.
Meaningful student involvement is the process of engaging students as partners in every facet of school change for the purpose strengthening their commitment to education, community & democracy.
It is not enough to simply listen to student voice. Educators have an ethical imperative to do something with students, and that is why meaningful student involvement is vital to school improvement.
