Student Engagement What is it? Social engagement—having a sense of belonging and participation in school life Academic engagement—tying into the formal requirements of schooling Intellectual engagement—making a serious emotional and cognitive investment in learning
Youth Voice as Engagement Youth Voice is: “the distinct ideas, opinions, attitudes, knowledge, and actions of young people as a collective body” Respecting Youth Voice leads to students being engaged through feeling of ownership
Hart’s Ladder of Participation Young People & Adults Share Decision Making Young People Lead & Initiate Action Adult-Initiated, Shared Decisions with Young People Young People Consulted and Informed Young People Assigned and Informed Young People are Tokenized Young People are Decoration Young People Manipulated Green – create a community project – as an example focus on a health issue and share the information with younger students or others in the community to highlight an issue – pollution and diabetes were done before. Yellow – the focus groups are an example of this as consulted and informed, red – is not what we want. If you choose to have youth leadership someone attending your management meetings for instance is a great green activity if they have a real role and voice. To simply have a BTE student join a meeting at a time only convenient for adults and not their school schedule and no training would be an example of tokenized – the reverse is the positive youth development in green
