Student Voice
Five Questions To Ask About Student Voice
1. What is the ratio of teacher talk vs. student talk?
2. How do the questions students are asked to grapple with support student understanding?
3. Do the students ask each other questions? How often?
4. Do students use academic talk when they share their voice?
5. Do I provide students with a variety of options to share their voice? (i.e., Blogging, VoiceThread, Google Hangout, Presentations, Videos, and more)
Classroom talk is frequently limited and is used to check comprehension rather than develop thinking.
Fisher, Frey, & Rothenberg, 2008

Student Choice
Three Questions To Ask About Student Choice
1. Do we ask 25 students to complete the same project or do we assign authentic tasks that require critical thinking, collaboration, choice, and contribution?
2. Should student choice be reserved for Genius Hour or should it be integrated in assignments and assessment?
3. How does student choice support student understanding?
What is really important is to focus on new relationships; teacher to students, students to students; students to the world, teachers to teachers. It’s also about how willing we are as educators to shift the control of learning in the classroom from the teacher to the student.
