They all need to feel that their views – whatever they may be – count for something and that they are valued as active collaborators who have useful contributions to make to thinking about what does and should happen in the classroom. Noyes (2005: 536) puts the point bluntly: ‘when teachers consult pupils on how to improve teaching and learning within existing curriculum and assessment regimes, an implicit assumption is made that pupils share these interests. ’ Above all, pupils need to feel that they are trusted and respected by their teacher and equally that they can trust their teacher.
These two primary decisions need to be considered together, because the most ambitious learning will generally require the biggest investment. Strategies for consulting pupils 43 There are many different things that teachers might want to learn. For example, we have highlighted the contrast between finding out about pupils’ preferred teaching and learning activities and approaches and, on the other hand, finding out about individual pupils’ differing classroom experiences and concerns. One thing that we have learned is that it is important to try to plan realistically in advance, since both the processes of consultation and, even more, teachers’ use of what they learn from consultation can be more time-consuming than is initially assumed, and also because pupils’ trust in their teachers can be severely damaged if consultation seems to be abandoned mid-stream or to lead nowhere.
Sometimes, of course, teachers want to conduct consultation exercises on relatively specific issues, such as classroom seating arrangements, noise in the classroom or collaboration with peers in learning. In such circumstances, the teachers are setting the broad agenda for consultation. None the less, within such broad frameworks, the same issues arise, with the same spectrum of possibilities, from tight teacher specification of the agenda to support for pupils construing the agenda as they see fit.
