Rudduck, Jean; Fielding, Michael – Educational Review, 2006
In this article we suggest that the current popularity of student voice can lead to surface compliance--to a quick response that focuses on "how to do it" rather than a reflective review of "why we might want to do it". We look at the links between student consultation and participation and the legacy of the progressive democratic tradition in our…

Smyth, John – International Journal of Leadership in Education, 2006
It is no coincidence, that disengagement from school by young adolescents has intensified at precisely the same time as there has been a hardening of educational policy regimes that have made schools less hospitable places for students and teachers. There can be little doubt from research evidence that as conditions conducive of learning in…

Campbell, Patricia – 1995
The integration of early reading, writing, and critical thinking skills are crucial to the development of healthy attitudes about writing and literacy in general. A child needs to feel that what he or she says is valuable. For that to happen, children need to begin at a very young age expressing themselves. Writing is an excellent outlet. As soon…

Hudson, Judith Williamson – 1994
