How can we involve
students in classroom decisions? Why should we do this? Can
it work? What implications
does this have for
teachers? What difficulties might arise? What benefits can we expect?
Classroom Decision-Making:
negotiation and process syllabuses in practice (Breen and Littlejohn,
CUP 2000) provides detailed examples of involving students in classroom
decisions, with practical accounts written by teachers in primary,
secondary, adult and teacher education.
