Student voice matters in education today. Listening to those voices and, even more, entrusting students with decisions about the nature of their learning communities, has tremendous benefits. I am not just referring to future benefits in terms of test score results and measurable academic gains. I am also looking at the benefits of creating more equitable and humane learning communities for today. We see this happening in promising ways, but what if we saw it even more? What if we found ways to persistently engage students in tackling some of education’s greatest challenges and pursuing some of its greatest opportunities? What if the students had more room to imagine the possibilities and to pursue them?

Shaona Williams's curator insight, December 8, 2015 1:22 AM

Despite the fact that the purpose of education is theoretically for the betterment of the students, they are often absent at the conversations about education that affect them the most. This year, the nonprofit Student Voice aimed to change that with the first ever student-led education summit -  “The State and Future of Student Rights.”. 

The students and other education stakeholders at the summit gathered to discuss the rights they believe all students deserve and how to integrate these rights in schools across the country.

Connecting Students and Teachers for Better Learning

Connecting Students and Teachers for Better Learning | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
From gettingsmart.com - August 26, 2015 6:24 AM
Research demonstrates that a sense of social connection can improve learning. In fact, activities that bring students together — like peer tutoring and cooperative learning — have shown a marked increase of up to 75% greater performance on assessments. Teachers who support student-centered learning in this way often make a bigger impact on students’ lives and education than teachers who remain aloof or apart from their students.

A sense of separation from a teacher (and other students) can happen pretty easily in an online environment. It can take a special effort on the part of online teachers to become a “favorite teacher”. David Wiley noted that the impersonal nature of the web is not only easy to slip into, it is sometimes designed into the way LMSs direct pedagogy:

“With the pile of philosophical, conceptual, and empirical evidence showing the social nature of learning and the importance of human relationships (particularly the relationship between teacher and student) in learning and wellbeing, why are we working so hard to automate away any opportunity for these relationships to exist?”

But the truth is that there are a myriad of ways that teachers and students can create digital connections in online classes. A new paper from the Research and Education Department — “Increased Social Connectedness through Digital Peer Learning” — explores several ways that Canvas supports social learning, including:

Peer Tutoring
Reciprocal Teaching
Cooperative Learning

Lisa Nielsen: The Innovative Educator: The Teacher Is Not The Most Important Factor When It Comes To Learning | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

We neither need nor want to remove or diminish the role of the teacher in the "in-school" success of students. We do however need to amplify the role and the voice of students and their families. Learning doesn’t take place unless it is consensual; a willingness on the part of the teacher and family: to listen, to respond, and to understand the significance of how all these factors influence students in the process.

We need to re-think teaching and learning and frame it for the students rather than the teachers.

The One Thing We Can't Afford to Waste in Education

The One Thing We Can't Afford to Waste in Education | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
From etale.org - August 25, 2015 10:49 AM
Out of all the debates about waste in education, there is one thing that we absolutely can't afford to waste...the potential of each learner.

I hadn't heard Fuller's realisation previously, but it does put some sense into the world, and can be utilised across education and many other channels.
Emma Miller's curator insight, August 25, 2015 8:53 PM

The article is a very interesting one as it brings up a very good point. Education is a a vital part of society as it develops better individuals and prepares the future of the country. The key idea of this article is that the K-12 education system does not key in on what each student is best as and prepare them for a career they would look into and excel in. Instead, we do a general education with your "core classes" such as math, english/reading, science, and social studies. I personally find that way of education contradicting as the standardized testing being issued nationwide through Common Core is named "Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers" so you would think we key in on what students feel they will go into as a career. This idea that K-12 education could be bettered by keying in on a student's strengths is a rather good one. Rather than producing the "well-rounded" student that knows endless fats about subjects not needed for their career, they excel at their future career, whether it be medical, economic, political, or anything in the world.

You need to make sure that you are making the global connection and impact of the issue in your article clear.
