Around the world, a growing number of educators recognize the unique perspectives of students and the importance of including student voice in both educational policy and practice. With the generous support from Microsoft Partners-in-Learning UK, TakingITGlobal for Educators (TIGed) is excited to offer scholarship opportunities for educators to participate in our professional development e-course entitled "Empowering Student Voice in Education."
This graduate-level, accredited e-course is designed to help educators understand the value of cultivating and engaging student voice both inside and outside the classroom. Course material draws on the experiences of educators who have incorporated student voice in their teaching practice and designed experiences and projects that empower students to have an equal say in the decision-making processes that shape their education. Educators will critically examine the current state of student voice in their educational contexts, and work towards designing a project that enables and enhances student voice. The e-course will run from October 28 - November 25th, 2013.
