WHAT IS STUDENT AGENCY?
Student agency is fast becoming the hot topic in education, empowering students to learn by enabling them create their own journey. The Agency was created to provide tools and resources for educators aiming to successfully engage every child in meaningful, relevant, driven learning experiences.
WHAT IS AN AGENT?
A
ACTIVE
Agents are actively searching ways to develop their teaching practice. They believe in seeking professional development opportunities, reaching out, connecting and collaborating with other teachers.
G
GENERATION Z
Agents are aware of the needs of Generation Z. They take time to listen to what students are interested in. They are empathetic and keep up to date with trends which helps them connect and develop positive student relationships.
E
EVERY CHILD
Agents know that every child matters and understand the individual needs of their students. Using this knowledge they provide personalised learning opportunities and set student centred goals that allows every child to succeed in their own way.
N
NEW IDEAS
Agents are regularly generating new and innovative ideas that keep students engaged, allowing them to confidently grow. They search for relevant ideas making sure projects are engaging, purposeful and fun. They provide clear instructions which promote student choice, offering levels of freedom to create their own path of success.
T
TRUST
Agents understand that students work at their own individual pace. They don't micro manage them, but do monitor and support, trusting students to complete their work independently. They develop a mutual level of trust which inspires and motivates students to aim high.
