Making Space and Time for Student Agency and Voice —An Educator Innovator Webinar

Powerful learning occurs when youth, driven by their own interests, are supported in being creators and not just consumers of knowledge. In celebration of October’s Connected Educator Month, we kick things off with a focus on how we can create opportunities, space, and time for all youth to be agents in their own learning. We will draw inspiration from the “Maker Movement” as well as use Connected Learning principles to support the sharing of ideas and strategies related to this notion of youth agency throughout October and beyond.
