The Importance & Benefits of Student Voice - Helen Bowen & Richard Andrew have a chat.

Last month, Helen Bowen and I enjoyed a chat about ‘All things Student Voice’, one of Helen’s (and my) favourite education topics!?

What was especially interesting was Helen’s perspective on involving students in the wider school community - including in the teacher interview process - an aspect i have not focused on.

Helen Bowen is an Education Consultant, International School Leader and Safeguarding Facilitator based in Turkey.

Check out the timestamps below the video.
