Think like a Foreman

I had fun exploring learner agency.  Ever since Click Institute, I have been taking risks with my presentations.  I decided to shape my presentation on the job of the foreman.  They manage the crew by giving clear directions and expectations, but get out of the way when the work is being done. I think this best describes agency to me. 

In my mind, learner agency is supported by our learning space design, because it helps to form identity.  If a classroom is designed with learner independence in mind, there will be greater ownership of the learning process. ​How is your learning space designed to include the needs of all your learners? 

Play is the hallmark of everything we do in the PYP and beyond.  It's how we create young people that are able to innovate through exploration.  In what ways are you allowing more play to come about in your practice?

Our personal connection to learning matters, because it showcases our authentic selves. How are you incorporating more inquiry into your practice?
