Teachers will leave the session with a practical toolbox of idea and resources to support them in developing and nurturing student agency in their classrooms.

– what does a learner ‘with agency’ ‘look like’ in the classroom?

– the connection between learner agency and the learner as inquirer

– how an inquiry based approach to learning works to build agency in students

– why agency is so important for successful, independent inquiry

– how the language we use as teachers can promote or inhibit agency

– how to design learning engagements that nurture agency

– how to foster agency in ourselves as teachers

As always, the workshop will include a mix of practical examples from schools and interactive tasks.
