Pupil Voice

An individual to whole school approach

A practical resource designed to develop skills in listening and responding to the learner.

The materials in this pack have been developed from a research project carried out by the Language and Learning Support Service (LLSS) teacher Helen Masani.

Initial research concluded that the materials:

  • offer a means to reflect upon learning and teaching strategies which can then be developed to meet individual needs
  • encourage and teach children how to be reflective and enable adults to build on the pupil's strength and interests
  • had the potential to empower children through enabling them to influence their provision and the way it is delivered
