What is Student Voice?
EDEquity’s “Student Voice” is a video-recorded focus group interview, featuring students from the school, who represent a cross-section of ethnic backgrounds and achievement levels. EDEquity consultants facilitate student discussions around critical aspects of the school culture and the teaching and learning process, including, but not limited to: positive aspects of the school; descriptions of quality teaching and classroom instructional activities; race consciousness and the “achievement gap.”
Why EDEquity?
As a state approved provider, we have had success with program improvement schools. We assisted many schools in existing out of program improvement. EDEquity is not a program, it is a professional development approach that energizes educational leaders to rethink traditional teaching methodologies using a cultural, racial and linguistic lens.
