In our class readings about being a culturally inclusive educator, we examined the idea of Transformative Learning, and how its student-centered approach gave students ownership of their learning. The MOE, through its Capacity Building Series publication, details how it is supporting student voice and suggests that teachers can do the same by fostering reciprocal relationships. This requires a growth mindset and can be accomplished by involving students in shaping their learning environments, learning opportunities, and assessments. As students gain greater voice, teachers are discovering that they can be trusted to work and learn with their peers.
The following photo is an example of how my associate teacher displays her students' work to remind them of their creative ownership of their learning environment.
