Taking as a premise students’ right to have their experiences and perspectives inform the preparation of future teachers, this Master class has two parts: a lecture that outlines one programmatic approach to honoring that right, and a workshop that affords participants an opportunity to think through developing such practice in their own contexts. The lecture, “Student Consultation as a Right in Secondary Teacher Preparation,” presents an overview of the theoretical underpinnings for student voice work, the programmatic structures that support the positioning of secondary students as teacher educators to undergraduate students seeking secondary certification, and outcomes for prospective teachers and students who participate in the program. The workshop draws on Learning from the Student’s Perspective: A Sourcebook for Effective Teaching (Cook-Sather, 2009) and invites participants to explore some guiding principles for undertaking student voice work, steps in partnering with students and teachers in secondary schools, and approaches to researching such partnerships.
