Google PD Summit Two Day Workshop April School Holidays
This Summit actually helped us think about what our focus should be and moved us even more in the directions of student agency.
This really became important for me:
'Start with Intro of Ako, goal setting and individual timetables.
Making them feel like they are in charge.'
This is where I could start. My Maths was already heading in this direction. I could continue with this and then build in individual timetables.
Questions:
- How much freedom should I allow them?
- what pre-loading would they need?
- Very important to focus on key competencies...(already had done Relating to Others, this term would be important to focus and self-assess using Managing Self)key competencies
What does student agency actually mean?
Students acting for themselves
Agency is the ability to make choices about and take an active role in one’s life path, rather than solely being the product of one’s circumstances. Agency requires the intentionality and forethought to derive a course of action and adjust that course as needed to reflect one’s identity, competencies, knowledge and skills, mindsets, and values.
