This hour-long webinar covers the importance of student voice and how to create equitable structures to maximize its use in decision making. Carmen Gelman, Director of Professional Development, Coalition of Oregon School Administrators (COSA), shares how she set up structures and student advisory committees that truly represent all student groups, and how she used these structures to make leadership decisions.
Questions for reflection:

- If so, do those voices represent all students at your school or just a small group?
