Introduce the concept of teacher voice much like I did with student voice providing a grounded theoretical model (using my previous work as a base), infused with data from the National Teacher Voice Report. Each chapter will have a short self-reflective section (this is something people have told us they really like aboutStudent Voice: The Instrument of Change).  Each chapter will also have concrete ideas with clear implementation strategies. We would also like to insert short interviews with teachers that bring to life the theme for each chapter we are writing.
