Abstract: This book offers educators actionable models for creating responsive, affirming learning environments that cultivate student agency, joy, and commitment to social transformation. These essays show how pre-K-12 educators enact culturally sustaining literacy pedagogies (CSLP)--drawing on students' cultural and linguistic knowledge to foster identity, critical consciousness, and academic skills. Each chapter features a practitioner coauthor and highlights concrete classroom strategies that challenge whiteness and center the experiences of communities of Color. The authors also provide a practical discussion of how each teaching practice can be levelled across the grades, and what it might look like when used with different age groups. Topics range from family and community literacies to critical language practices and multimodal assessment. With many user-friendly tools, "Making Student Voices Matter" is a valuable resource for inservice professional learning, teacher preparation programs, and equity-centered coaching. Book Features: (1) Bridges Critical Theory and Everyday Practice: Theoretical concepts--such as critical consciousness, cultural humility, and reflexivity--are translated into concrete, classroom-tested practices; (2) Centers Practitioner Voices and Lived Experience: Teacher-authored chapters offer firsthand accounts of implementing CSLP in real-world school contexts; (3) Expands the Definition of Literacy: Offers an interdisciplinary and multimodal understanding of literacy that includes language, arts, digital media, oral traditions, and nature-based literacies; (4) Disrupts Whiteness in Instructional Practice: Shows how educators can actively challenge whiteness, white ideology, and curricular erasure by affirming the identities of students from historically marginalized communities; and (5) Includes User-Friendly Features for Immediate Application: Provides tools such as instructional snapshots, classroom vignettes, student work samples, and reflection prompts.
