Improving quality, developing citizens: strategies and skills for learner voice and public speaking
The importance of hearing and actively listening to the learner voice has become a central part of post-16 education and training where it has a strong alignment with citizenship education. It can have a powerful impact on improving quality and develop a sense of belonging and agency among learners.
Learner voice and representation supports the promotion of wider citizenship learning objectives for an ethos of democratic participation while, in turn, good active citizenship learning can greatly enhance the effectiveness of learner voice within an organisation.
This session will allow you to explore current understandings of 'the learner voice', and its development in the context of the LSC’s requirement that all FE providers put in place a learner involvement strategy. It will also allow you to consider progress with a learner involvement strategy in your own organisation, and the part that citizenship provision can play in developing this successfully.
This session can also be adapted for staff and/or learners with a stong focus on public speaking skills development.
