Abstract

Research argues the importance of including young people, especially youth of color, to participate in educational leadership. However, adults who enact performative allyship towards these youth leaders often obstruct young people’s ability to authentically participate in educational decision making and achieve justice-driven outcomes in K-12 school policy and practice. We examine this phenomenon by exploring how teachers and administrators perform allyship towards youth voice initiatives and/or school recommendations, if at all. Interviews with educational leaders about youth voice initiatives indicated a spectrum of adult responses, including direct opposition, performative youth allyship, and passive forms of allyship which reinforce adultism and deter overall goals for youth voice and shared leadership. However, we also found that adults who enlist the role of coconspirator, who amplify youth voice initiatives on both the front and backstage and increase opportunity for educational reform.
