Abstract
The purpose of this article is to discuss student voice as a meaningful pedagogical practice in elementary physical education to promote student agency and learning. Four questions are answered: What is student voice? How can authentic student voice be accessed? How and where might student voice be enacted in practice? And, how can student voice be listened and responded to inform our practice? Scaffolded strategies that can be implemented in practice, over time, to build the capacity of students to genuinely express their voice as well as the capacity of teachers to genuinely access and enact student voice to impact practice and student outcomes are suggested.
