Creating dialogue among educators and students, especially Black Canadian youth, regularly proves problematic because of the history of their negative schooling experiences.

Key Points: 
  • Creating dialogue among educators and students, especially Black Canadian youth, regularly proves problematic because of the history of their negative schooling experiences.
  • As an education researcher who examines schooling experiences of Black Canadian youth and their families, I have worked alongside Black high-school students in grades 10-12 to engage youth voices at the Black Student Summer Leadership Program.
  • It also necessarily implies action on the part of receptive and understanding adults, willing and poised to help bring about changes youth need to see.

Struggles in and for ‘voice’

    • One of the greatest struggles to allow for “voice” is the role of adults in these interactions and the hierarchical nature of schools.
    • Paying attention to student voice involves changing fundamental values, norms and institutional practices, which means teachers need to be open to this shift.
    • Scholars and education researchers challenged school staff to stop seeing youth as passive recipients of an education.

Black youth’s whole selves

    • If schools desire genuine opportunities for students to be heard, educators must see Black youth as their whole selves.
    • Teachers who view the validity in sharing power in classrooms will actively seek Black students’ input.

Youth Participatory Action Research

    • Black students involved in this program gain leadership opportunities and positive relationships with adults and their peers while participating in research.
    • Participatory action research has been associated with revolutionary educational projects.

Youth as co-researchers

    • The principle of Youth Participatory Action Research includes adults sharing the space with youth as co-researchers, sharing ownership in decision-making and supporting and empowering youth as agents of change.
    • Black students learn how to become submerged in their own research, rather than experiencing themselves as the object of others’ research.

What shapes education

    • Youth Participatory Action Research provides Black students with opportunities to discuss what shapes their education.
    • In the summer program, Black students present research projects to education stakeholders.
    • In order for change to be implemented, key decision makers need to be willing to engage youth and to act.

A promising approach

    • Youth Participatory Action Research is a promising approach for creating avenues to support Black students’ self-determination and agency.
    • Amplifying youth voice in alignment with the mission and values of school communities is significant for an empowered path forward.
