Partnership for Successful Schools

Toolkits > Turn Up the Volume: Students Speak

H
ow can we make our schools comfortable, safe and welcoming environments when we don't have a clear understanding of how our students view the schools?

The Students Speak Toolkit guides educators, school board members, parents and others in planning and carrying out strategies for listening to students in order to improve their school experiences, including academic performance, school climate, and school safety.

Based on pioneering work in several central Kentucky school districts, beginning with Jessamine County Schools in the fall of 1998, this toolkit is designed to help you engage students as responsible partners in their own learning.

You may launch the online version of this toolkit in a new window. Alternatively, you may download the Toolkit in PDF format if you would prefer to print out the entire document.
