Foundations of Student Agency in a Competency-Based System

In the Student Agency Foundations module, learners will engage in four foundational practices for cultivating student agency: establishing safe and supportive environments; providing opportunities for student voice and choice; designing and leading empowering learning experiences; and creating a culture where everyone - including the teacher - gives and receives feedback for continuous growth. Learners will participate in a experiential cycle for each foundation area, including empathizing with the learner, active learning and experimentation, and reflecting and responding. By the end of the module, learners will have designed and implemented four prototypes, one for each foundational practice. In the culminating performance task, learners will document, synthesize, and reflect on learning across these four prototypes.
