Agents to Agency
A Measurable Process for Cultivating Self-Directed Learner Agency
Experience a well-structured, sensible, and systematic framework for developing agency in the classroom and enabling learners to become capable, confident, and independent in their learning.
Agency for All Learners
Lee Crockett’s highly anticipated Agents to Agency: A Measurable Process for Cultivating Self-Directed Learner Agency follows on from his bestselling Future-Focused Learning: 10 Essential Shifts of Everyday Practice.
The transformation of classroom practice and moving the responsibility for learning from the teacher to the learner is examined in greater detail, with an emphasis on the specific learning practices that successfully underpin the transition.
Agents to Agency explores how to adopt learning practices that develop and enhance learner agency and will provide the understanding you need to move forward with it in your classroom.
Lee guides you through the journey from agents to agency with clear summaries, key points, and tangible examples you can apply to your practice. Additionally, the final chapters also present a series of sensible and practical continuums for facilitating and measuring the progression of learner agency.
From the Book
“Agency is the antithesis of oppression. Like literacy, agency is not pedagogy or a subject; it is an outcome of an education system that places autonomy, individual development, self-determination, and self-direction at the foundation.”
“Agency describes the ability to identify valued goals and desired outcomes and to proactively, purposefully, and effectively pursue those goals and outcomes … it’s a blend of mindfulness, intention, and action. From the perspective of Zen, mindfulness is living and doing, always in reality, with simplicity and neutrality.”
