From Silent to Vocal: The Power of Unlocking Student Voice is Within You

Tuesday June 9, 2026 1:00pm - 1:50pm CDT

Munthe Room

In this session, we'll explore the power of vulnerability and connecting in the PK-12 grade classroom. By reading aloud my short story, "Joyce, Joyce...There's Power In Your Voice," we'll step into the shoes of an African American student navigating educational spaces while learning how moments of silence can hold profound lessons. We'll discuss what it takes to engage both our quietest and most vocal students and reflect on how positive, authentic student teacher relationships can create a sense of belonging and trust. Together, we'll uncover practical strategies and craft action plans to implement TWO specific techniques that will amplify student voice in your classroom.
