ReConnectEd
You may have been aware of the long-running publication Connect, which came out from 1979 to 2021. ReConnectEd aims to carry on the legacy of and build on the essence of its predecessor. It aims to: Document and share student participation approaches and initiatives, support reflective practices among those working to increase student participation and develop and share access to resources as ReConnectEd’s purpose is to place student participation at the centre of both primary and secondary school learning and governance. As such we focus on showcasing how student participation can be extended to various school and classroom practices, and place students at the centre of school policy development and implementation.
Additionally, ReConnected aims to highlight the need for co-agency to occur across students, teachers and the community alike to allow these discussions to occur. We hope that in this journal, you will find articles that challenge you, and inspire you to make changes in the classroom and beyond.
