Research taster
Giving pupils a voice has been found to elicit constructive, informative and thoughtful feedback to teachers on their practice; something that’s particularly important for students who are at-risk. Analysing and interpreting pupil perspectives on learning and teaching provides an opportunity for teachers to reflect on their established understanding and practice. 
Your evidence
Regular evaluation by pupils of their own work is one way you can foster ownership in their learning, especially when they feel that their feedback is valued and acted upon.
