Includes bibliographical references (p. 117-127) and index. Introduction -- Understanding the history and outcomes of student voice initiative -- Listening to students -- Developing a voice -- Taking action and leading the way -- Making a difference at Whitman -- Enhancing positive youth development outcomes -- Student voice as an avenue for youth development and distributed leadership -- Appendix: Methodology. High schools continue to be places that isolate, alienate, and disengage students. But what would happen if students were viewed as part of the solution in schools rather than part of the problem? This book examines the emergence of "student voice" at one high school in the San Francisco Bay area where educators went straight to the source and asked the students to help. |
