Why Student Agency Fails: 5 Simple Fixes

Have you provided students freedom and choice only to watch them fail miserably at exerting it?

Make bad decisions. Poorly manage their time. Produce sloppy, unpolished work.

That was me last week when I let students pitch their student generated business plan to a panel of investors.

Real stakes and real people. And they were terribly unprepared.

But what if I told you their failure was NOT their fault...but ours?!

In this episode I share why student agency fails and 5 ways to fix it.

You learn:

• The three common mistakes aspiring student-centered practitioners make when giving students more autonomy and choice
• The simple shift to ensure success
• Simple facilitator moves to guide the process
• A dead easy framework to use every time you give students a new project based experience, open-ended task, or challenge

Transform failed attempts at student agency into student empowerment.
