Reseñas de la Crítica

"Student Voice not only captures the urgency of our professional, societal, and moral imperatives to transform the educational system, but it also provides a thoughtful, thought-provoking, and well-researched framework for ensuring that all of our students can and will pursue and attain their aspirations. With moving stories and insights from students and teachers, heartfelt personal anecdotes, extensive analyses of data, and a deep understanding of the power of shared leadership, Dr. Quaglia and Dr. Corso have crafted a roadmap for the journey all of us as learners seek to travel—the road on which the voices of our students are the instruments of change in creating the future. Student Voice connects the dots of what too often seem to be disparate research about and facets of the elements of student achievement of academic, social, and personal aspirations and offers a comprehensive and coherent road to actualizing deep, meaningful, and sustainable change." —Beth Havens, Educational Consultant for Innovation and Special Projects

"Student Voice is the result of many years of experience working with students and teachers around the world—and it shows. Drs. Quaglia and Corso have stuffed every nook and cranny of this book with practical ways to understand young people that are both sensible and profound. This is your go-to field guide for student aspirations." —Adam Ray, Pearson Foundation

"In this magnificent book, Quaglia and Corso have unearthed a deep missing piece in learning. The elephant in the room ironically turns out to be Student Voice! And now we have it—their Aspirations, the 8 Conditions of deep learning relating to Self-worth, Engagement, and Purpose. Thanks to the authors we have a whole new set of strategies where change, learning, educators, and students merge. This is innovation at its best." —Michael Fullan, Professor Emeritus
