If students play an important role in fostering a positive school culture, then student voices should be at the forefront of conversations about school climate. That was the main message from the edLeader panel, “Amplifying Student Voice to Improve School Culture and Climate.” More important, the panelists shared how they integrate the students and their needs during every step of the process to make sure their voices aren’t lost.
