“The leaves are the people and the branch is our
society. It shows that we are all different yet all of
us are connected in some way. Either in school,
work, home, city and country.”
Zahra (Banting and Best student)

26. The Power of Student Voice
What does student voice mean to you?
How has student voice and communication changed over the past 10 years?
Why is student voice in the classroom exciting or scary?
Why should we embed student voice in our schools and classrooms?

27. Hart’s Ladder of Participation (UNICEF)
Children’s Participation:
From Tokenism to Citizenship (1992)
"Children need to be involved in meaningful projects with adults. It is
unrealistic to expect them suddenly to become responsible,
participating adult citizens at the age of 16, 18, or 21 without prior
exposure to the skills and responsibilities involved. An understanding of
democratic participation and the confidence and competence to
participate can only be acquired gradually through practice; it cannot be
taught as an abstraction. Many western nations think of themselves as
having achieved democracy fully, though they teach the principles of
democracy in a pedantic way in classrooms which are themselves
models of autocracy. This is not acceptable."

28. Three Dimensions of Student Engagement

Threatened in Ontario:
Blanding’s Turtle
Krishana Johnson-James, Tam O’Shanter
“It does take
time to help
students
develop into a
community of
learners who
recognize that
being outside
the classroom
is okay and,
dare it be said,
fun. All you
need is a long
term vision and
a willingness to
achieve it in
small steps.”

32. A Global Citizenship Mindset

33. Challenge-Based Learning

34. Making Learning Visible
“Pedagogical documentation inserts a new phase of thinking and wondering
together between the act of observation and the act of planning a response.
Rather than looking for what is known through assessment, pedagogical
documentation invites the creativity, surprise and delight of educators who discover
the worlds of children.” Dr. Carol Anne Wien, York University

35. Making Learning Visible
In My Own Eyes
(STEM & MakerSpace)

37. Pedagogical Documentation
The Other P.D.
“Above and Beyond”

38. P.D. (Pedagogical Documentation)
❏ is a way to learn more about how our students think and
learn
❏ provides opportunity for teachers to capture student
voice
❏ provides opportunity for students to capture their own
voice
❏ is a catalyst for student inquiry, student exploration
and student understanding (shared understanding)
❏ is a celebration all learners as students take ownership
of their own learning and journey

39. How do I capture thinking?
Examples:
Video
Photo
Authentic Writing
Artifacts
Documentation Panels

43. Pedagogical DocumentationTips to Get Started:
1. Creates Shared Understanding
2. Celebrates the Rights of Individual Learners
3. Recognizes Students’ Ownership of Their Learning
4. Actualizes Shared Accountability
5. Provides Voice in Learning for Everyone
“Through pedagogical documentation, the roles in education are shifting; what
it means to be a learner and an educator are being transformed. Students and
teachers alike are demonstrating ownership of and engaging in teaching and learning.
Consequently, pedagogical documentation is a vehicle for learning that bridges
understanding of children and adults.”
Ontario Ministry of Education Capacity Building Series K-12, October 2012

46. Pedagogical DocumentationQuestions to ask when studying documentation:
● What are we trying to understand?
● What are we asking pedagogical documentation to help us look for?
● What do we see when we look closely and attentively at the documentation?
● What questions does this looking raise for us?
● What do we wonder about?
● What are our working theories about what we see?
● What does the documentation reveal about children’s working theories, feelings, attachments
and interests?
Dr. Carol Anne Wien, York University
