Diverse Voices in Educational Practice

This practical workbook supports teachers seeking to sensitively understand and respond to the opinions and perceptions of critical stakeholders in student learning and development; Pupil Voice, Parent Voice, and Professional Voice are introduced and explored. A wide range of expert educator and academic contributors ensure that diverse voices are meaningfully understood, with chapters placing an emphasis on minority and traditionally marginalised groups, including SEND, LGBTQ+ and Global Majority students. The workbook advocates a clear and inclusive ethos and demonstrates how voice work can help to de-colonise the curriculum, promote a positive LGBTQ+ friendly school climate, and value pupil involvement. Moments for personal reflection, activities and action plans allow practitioners to consider the role they play in facilitating the effective inclusion of those not normally involved in knowledge construction and decision-making processes. Blending key theory with practical strategies and takeaways, this workbook is an essential tool for practising primary and secondary teachers and teaching assistants, as well as educational psychologists, school counsellors and other educational professionals interested in promoting inclusive voice practices.
