NURTURING LEARNER AGENCY THROUGH INQUIRY

Learner agency has become a central goal of education systems around the world. Supporting learner agency means providing opportunities for students to make decisions about their learning and to build a repertoire of strategies that allow for more independent, thoughtful investigation. Inquiry as an approach to learning is a powerful vehicle to nurture agency as it invites learners to question, problem solve, investigate and act on learning most often in authentic, high-stakes, contexts.
