Today our guest is Halli Roussell a Secondary Specialist at CharacterStrong. We talk to Halli about the importance of student voice and choice. She emphasizes that when we take the time to elevate student voice in the classroom, it increases engagement over the long term. Halli provides some practical examples of how she incorporated student voice during her time as a middle school teacher, and talks about the benefits that students experience as a result. Halli also highlights the importance of not only starting a unit with student voice, but also incorporating it as a way to end a unit.
