Historically, improvements have been made in allowing students to play a role in their own educational experiences. Prior to the 1989 United Nations Convention on the Rights of the child, student voice wasn’t recognized as a critical component to developing and improving educational practices and systems. However, during this convention, attendees agreed that with schooling impacting their lives, students should be allowed to participate and provide their perspectives, now known as “student voice” (Holquist et al., 2023). This work has continued through the 1990s, has become more engrained in our educational systems today, and is never more important. Schools seek to boost engagement and participation of its students in various ways, yet the simple strategy of including student voice and choice improves motivation and engagement (Toshalis & Nakkula, 2012).
