144: Developing Student and Teacher Agency – Heather Clayton Staker

According to author and education researcher, Heather Clayton Staker, "schools can be a microcosm of the world that we want our children to grow up to create themselves. One starting point is to shift the power structure so that children are given agency and ownership to drive their own learning. Part of the shift from a teacher-led to a student-driven mindset will come from giving students multiple learning pathways and empowering them to set their own goals and follow them."
