Sort elements
- teachers use children to support goals/activities of educators to show that they come from children (Example: children participate at a demonstration for not closing the school).
- teachers use children to promote goals indirectly. Teachers do not pretend that the goals come from the children but they actually take all the decisions themselves (Example: attending press conference to present school work).
- It appears that children have a voice but in fact they have no choice in what they do or participate in (Example: creating school rules)
- The children are informed of the reason for their involvement but the way and extent of their involvement is determined by the teachers. (Example: participation in a training programme)
- Children are informed and then express their views on issues to be addressed by teachers. They are informed about how their views have been used as well as final decisions (Example: designing the outdoor landscape of the school)
- teachers have the initial initiative / idea and the children are involved in the design and implementation of the action plan (Example: participation in a student competition)
- children have the initiative / idea, are actively involved in the planning and implementation of actions. Teachers have a supportive role (Example: support provided to children in need)
- the initiative comes from children but the planning, decision making and implementation at each stage of the action plan is shared with teachers (Example: anti-violence policy, action research, teacher evaluation results, interactive teaching techniques, learning support programmes, active citizenship promotion programmes etc.)
