Pedagogy of the Voice: Spoken Word in School according to Cait Miner Kay

The article analyzes the concept of spoken word poetry as an advanced pedagogical tool, based on the publication by Cait Miner Kay. The author emphasizes that spoken word is not only artistic expression, but a rigorous educational process that transforms private experience into a social event. A key element here is the synergy between formal discipline and freedom of speech—literary craft allows students to communicate emotions in a shaped and responsible manner. This pedagogy promotes a culture of deep listening and mutual recognition, creating a safe space for building identity and civic competencies. In this way, the school becomes a laboratory of agency, where the student evolves from a program recipient into a conscious author of meaning.
