Learner voice can transform the landscape of students' futures - if we let it...

Our Leader of Purpose and English learning lead Nikki Railton has written an article for Teachwire discussing why learner voice can transform the landscape of students’ futures – if we let it....  "Education has the power to transform a child’s future. As teachers, we cling to this knowledge though the whirlwind of all those late nights, early starts, marking jobs and the overwhelming sense that our work is never done. Why do we weather the storm in this way? The holidays? The money? No – it’s because our students are there through it all, and because teaching allows us just a moment to be a part of their learning journeys." You can read the full article on Teachwire  
Launch of DET Learner Voice Council Posted on: 20/10/2021

Launch of DET Learner Voice Council

On Wednesday 13th October Danes Educational Trust held our first DET Learner Voice Council Induction Day at Onslow St Audrey’s, Hatfield  The event bought together over 60 students from our secondary schools including Onslow St Audrey’s, Croxley Danes School, St Clement Danes School, Chancellor’s School and Elstree Screen Arts for the launch of the DET Learner Voice Council.  The LVC will provide learners the opportunity to take part discussion and decision making at all levels.  They will work with students and staff alike, conducting cutting edge research exploring what teaching and learning has the biggest impact in helping them learn.  The induction day featured workshops on teambuilding, teaching and learning, growth mindset and constructive conversations.  We were lucky enough to have exceptional practitioners Charley Clarke, Nicola Spencer, Joelle Casotti, Callum Finn and Dr. Martijn Van der Spoel joining us on the day along with our brilliant team of LVC facilitators. If you would like further details about the work we are doing in schools, please do get in touch with Nikki Railton, DET Leader of Purpose.
