Student Voice in Education - S2 E11

Student voice: the values, opinions, and other perspectives of students in a school, which can lead to the development of student choices, interests, passions, and ambitions.

This week our hosts Lauren and Rhys have a conversation with Josh and Karshin about their new school project we have launched: "A Middle School Minute." The four 8th graders discuss student voice in education, focusing on this new creative outlet of journalism as another platform for students to practice life skills like communication, decision making, and advocacy.
