TWEET & TALK *LIVE MAY 10TH, 1:00PM EDT
CHAT QUESTIONS: STUDENT VOICE/ ADVOCACY
- What does it mean to have a voice? What are some ways you can develop your voice?
- Why is it important for students to have a voice today? (ex. school, work, home)?
- What does your school/school board do to ensure students are heard? How can they do better?
- In what ways have you felt that your own voice has been amplified (school or other)?
- How might teachers help amplify the voices of students regularly?
- How can we ensure student voice remains meaningful, positive, and productive?
*The same questions will be used for the Slow Chat all month long. We recommend classes spend time answering the questions ahead of time so time during the chat can be spent liking tweets, retweeting, quoting tweets in reply, and collaborating with others.
