Setting the Context Purpose of the Student Focus Group: Provide your thinking and interpretation of the data - Outcome of the Student Focus Group: - Use your input to inform school decisions 1500 students were surveyed around student voice Purpose is to gain insight from students to inform and to improve school wide decisions and practices that are relevant to students

Essential Question “How can student voice contribute to school change and improvement?” This is the “Why!” This is what’s driving the work.

Explain the diagram… Dreaming- some students have great dreams, other don’t (they are hibernating) Some students do a lot (they sweat), but without dreams they will not aspire Give example...

Someone that is doing and dreaming… is aspiring and they exhibit these conditions Focus on the condition that your group will be working on

Clarifying Survey Questions Take two minutes to read the questions Chose one question that you like the most (*) Chose one question that you need help understanding (?)
