The Student Voice & Choice Toolkit is a practical collection of strategies, planning tools, and ready-to-use classroom resources designed to help teachers increase student ownership, engagement, and independence. Built from real experiences in a high school inclusion classroom, this toolkit focuses on small, meaningful changes that give students a voice in their learning while maintaining rigorous learning goals.
 
Inside you'll find practical ideas you can implement tomorrow, including self-assessments, classroom reflection tools, student voice routines, choice ladders, "Small Changes, Big Impact" strategies, and standards-aligned choice boards for multiple secondary content areas. This resource will help you create more engaging learning experiences without redesigning your entire curriculum.
