Learner Agency is fast becoming the latest educational buzzword. It is appearing in educational policy documents around the world, including the New Zealand Key Competencies.
 
But what is “Learner Agency”? Why should school leaders care? How do we support teachers to increase Learner Agency in students, and what tools can we use to guide and measure the impact of our work?
 
It is important for school leaders to understand that agency is not something we can simply give to students. Learner Agency is a capability that needs to be developed by, and within, the learner. Ultimately, learners must carry and continually build their agency throughout their life. And in order to do that, we need a clear school based definition and a set of practical tools and strategies to enable teachers to work meaningfully with these ideas. 
  

Changing Mindsets
In this powerful workshop, you will discover why so many of our current school-based Growth Mindset interventions have failed. Most importantly, you will discover how to implement strategies that work!
Move past the social media myths and misunderstandings about Growth Mindsets and discover how to make an enduring difference to your students’ learning.
In this masterclass, you will explore the Mindset Continuum, gaining new insights and a powerful toolkit of classroom strategies that will develop your students’ Mindsets.

The Habits of Mind are one of the true classics in education. Derived by Art Costa and Bena Kallick, the Habits of Mind describe what the most efficacious learners do when confronted with problems, the solutions to which are not immediately apparent.
This course will show you how to go beyond the basics, and ensure your work with Habits of Mind has a significant impact on student learning outcomes.
