Co-creating Belongingness: Affirming Student Voice and Ways of Knowing

Panelists raise awareness of how student voice is diminished or silenced through pedagogical practices, contribute research-based evidence on the importance of affirming student voice, and share effective strategies that engage with and affirm multiple ways of knowing. The more educators can give their students choice, control, challenge, and opportunities for collaboration, the greater their motivation and engagement will be.
