Centering Student Voice is a guide that helps pre-service teachers, educators, and school administrators impact and inspire the young people in their charge by impacting the three "Ds" distraction, disengagement, and discipline. Voice uses emotional intelligence tactics to break through and interrupt emotional, experiential, cultural and identification misconceptions in the classroom community.
Voice references young people as "scholars" as opposed to "students" because young people may be the learners of academia and educational knowledge, but they are the experts of their own experiences.
In Voice, when the scholar and their educational disrupter focus on learning challenges collaboratively, they comprehend the experiences that are causing negative impacts on their scholars' success. The unintended consequences of those experiences can then be challenged and overcome.
Centering Student Voice recognizes the power of the educator. Presenting a program of concepts and strategies, Glover redirects the educator from limiting preconceptions to a broader thought process, cultural awareness, and empathy. This new approach will aid in developing and sustaining equitable and inclusive classrooms in which learning shifts from a belabored and unsuccessful process to a standard of excellence through culturally responsive practices.
Voice is not just a book of academic theory. It is a tactical roadmap with exercises and critical connection points that can move an educator beyond philosophical agreement to integrating positive "disruptive" practices into their real-world classrooms.
Centering Student Voice: A Guide for Cultivating Emotionally Intelligent Educators and Culturally Responsive Classrooms assists in cultivating educational facilitators with goals to ensure scholars are heard, understood, educated, and empowered to live with authenticity and become self-advocates. When this is accomplished, they can continue through life as confident, active lifelong learners.
