Agency

One of the ways that we are growing this active learning culture is through the development of providing our learners the opportunity to act and have more input into the decisions that surround their learning - this is called agency. 

Ten Trends 2014: Agency from EDtalks on Vimeo.

Derek Wenmoth (CORE Education) describes this growing trend towards agency as having three important parts;

  1. The student using their ‘initiative’ to act - being independent and self starting. 
  2. The student also having an ‘interdependent’ relationship with others - both their teachers and their peers. 
  3. The student having an awareness that their decisions impact on them, others and their peers.


At MBS we are very passionate to see every learner grow in both their awareness of agency and also their ability to have agency in everything they do.
