However, here at SoundOut we believe there is no single student voice; instead, there are millions. No single activity, project or report can ever capture all student voice. Not even student-created reports can do that.
Because of that, we’re leery of any report that claims to do just that. However, we do see the value of reports that understand their parameters and don’t claim to represent every student, everywhere, all the time. There are a growing number of research summaries, project summaries and other reports on student voice in schools. Following are a few.
