By shared leadership, school leaders can, together with teachers and students, be a winning team making educational reform possible. Traditionally, student voices have rarely been taken into account in education reforms, and to some extent this is still the case, although interest in including them has increased over the past two decades. The importance of exploring the school experiences of students and the way they learn have been stressed in policy documents and by international researchers. The aim of this presentation is to share how giving voice to students can contribute to educational reform. The point of departure is Swedish students’ positive experiences of their learning environment through the use of visual narratives. Four themes were found: (1) knowing the needs of mind and body, (2) embracing each other in mutual support, (3) learning in a facilitating environment, and (4) using a variety of learning modalities. Students wished to have a voice in setting the curriculum, favored a variety of assignments, and sought to expand their learning environment beyond the classroom. Finally, challenges and opportunities for school leaders and teachers to embrace the task to critically reflect on how optimum learning conditions may be achieved while also meeting school goals are discussed.
