Abstract
Educational researchers must engage authentically with youth voices in order to allow those who are most impacted by educational policy, students, to have opportunities to be part of (a) identifying problems/needs for policy intervention, (b) crafting policy that has the potential to effectively leverage students’ assets, (c) evaluating implementation of policy as it relates to student experiences and outcomes, and (d) exploring methods to engage students in the shaping and transforming of policy and systems.
