Voices from the Classroom illustrates that teachers have a leading voice in the policies that
impact their students and the profession of teaching. The aim is to provide a rich and broad
view of the impact of inquiry in the classrooms from primary to higher education and to
provide a window into the perspective of teachers. Voices from the Classroom allows us to
advance this mission by identifying and then turning educators' ideas into action. The
publication includes chapters on issues ranging from dyslexic students' geospatial abilities to
teachers' differential behaviours related student characteristics and the experiences of
refugees with bullying in the educational space. All the contributions published in this book
emerged from real classrooms: our teachers and researchers conducted their research by drawing
on their experience as educators. We believe that these insights into everyday classrooms and
the issues affecting them are crucial to making teaching and learning better. We hope they can
help drive real positive change for students and teachers.
