"Learner agency is about having the power, combined with choices, to take meaningful action and see the results of your decisions. It can be thought of as a catalyst for change or transformation. Within a school context, Learner Agency is about shifting the ownership of learning from teachers to students, enabling students to have the understanding, ability, and opportunity to be part of the learning design and to take action to intervene in the learning process, to affect outcomes and become powerful lifelong learners." (Core Ed 2017)

5. If you want a bit of a laugh it was very interesting to watch the 'documentary' about early schooling in the 1950's. I particularly liked the dramatization of the small child at 7 mins, acting out something in her own life.
