Should I listen to student voice or make them eat their vegetables?

As teachers we sometimes find ourselves in a situation where we must choose - our students feeling successful, or learning successfully? In this episode we’re talking about all things student voice. Is it helpful to listen to student voice or should we make them eat their veggies?

If you’re enjoying Season 2, please share an episode with other teachers you think would love to listen. We want to reach as many teachers as possible and appreciate every rating, subscription and review. Each of these actions mean a lot to us, but also mean new listeners are likely to find out about us.
