  3. Are Student Voices Heard? • “What one key thing do you need • to be successful?” • How did your institution find out what your needs were when you were a student? • How does your institution find out the answer to this question today?

  4. Student Voice in Teaching & Learning • Involving students in shaping the educational processes that are designed to shape their knowledge and character. • Patterns of Partnership: (adapted from Fielding, 2011) Students as data source • Staff utilize information about student progress and well-being Students as active respondents • Staff invite student dialogue to deepen learning/professional decisions Students as co-inquirers • Staff take a lead role with high-profile, active student support Students as knowledge creators • Students take lead roles Students as joint authors • Students and staff decide a joint course of action together Intergenerational learning as lived democracy • Student & staff collaboration in pursuit of common aspirations

How do these attitudes impact success? • Voices Project: “Door Number One” • interview 30 or more students about their experiences • create video profiles of a dozen services and programs on campus

  7. “Door Number One” • Patterns of Partnership = Level 5 –students/staff joint authors • Who developed: Student Services requested project/2 student co-inquirers and faculty member executed very quick turnaround • Type A Students: 2 experienced student co-inquirers • Cultural Access: student-to-student interviews: one-on-one, duo, group, classroom interviews • Into the Heart: a lot of pain, confusion, regret revealed—and new wisdom • Professional Development: Plans laid out, Dean left—BUT 4 years later, movie (along with others) is bearing fruit with new campus initiatives
