Pedagogies of Voice: Street Data and the Path to Student Agency

Transform your classroom into a liberatory space for student voice, belonging, and intellectual development.

Too often, traditional educational models silence students' voices and stifle their genius. Written as a collaboration between Shane Safir, Marlo Bagsik, Sawsan Jaber, and Crystal M. Watson, Pedagogies of Voice invites educators at all levels to reinvent their schools and classrooms into spaces that celebrate student identity, nurture agency, awaken inquiry, and cultivate deep belonging for every child. Pedagogies of Voice introduces four domains of agency: Identity, Belonging, Inquiry, and Efficacy―foundational pillars for fostering student engagement and growth. Additional features include

* 8 Pedagogies in Practice: Strategies like microaffirmations, questions over answers, learning design templates, and radical inclusion to spark concrete transformation in your schools and classrooms.
* Awakenings: Reflective moments designed to foster self-awareness and deepen pedagogical practice.
* Integrative Case Study: A powerful exploration of Indigenous land-based education and learning by British Columbia leader John Harris.

Developed using the Equity Transformation Cycle introduced in the bestselling Street Data: A Next-Generation Model for Equity, Pedagogy, and School Transformation and informed by conversations with educators across North America, this book presents a compelling framework for creating schools that affirm every learner while dismantling systems of oppression. Reimagine your role as an educator and create classrooms that honor every student's voice.
