Deborah Netolicky talks with Summer Howarth about learning design, teaching, student voice, and really partnering with young people in the work of education. Summer spends her days championing teachers and positioning students as partners in learning. She is a key figure behind some of Australia’s most forward-thinking learning and innovation strategies for education systems including positioning students as decision makers in their learning with the Northern Territory Learning Commission, the NSW DOVES the NT Youth Voice Peak Group. She has delivered projects and professional development alongside teams including ACER, ACEL, CSE, The Global Education Taskforce on the UNSDGs, IDEO’s Teacher Guild, and Melbourne University, as well as extensive student voice consultation for governments including NT, SA and NSW.
