Using the PLC 4Qs for reflection and self assessment. A great framework for promoting agency in the learning process. Great job @MingmayBridges! Check it out @SolutionTree @mikemattos65

Gr. 5 learners @AISMmoz are using the 4 critical questions of a PLC to express their agency. Self-directed learners identifying the critical content, understandings, & approaches to learning that support their development. @MingmayBridges #AISMlearns #personalizedlearning #atplc

Great reasons to focus on inquiry and PBL. "Projects with no right answers develop design skills, they require research, empathy, and prototyped solutions. Extended projects also teach collaboration and project management" #AISMlearns Thanks @tvanderark https://t.co/AnSFj3NJuI

So excited to start the MSIS program with the amazing educators at @AISMmoz. Thank you @Shamber2 for adding a new country to your long list! Welcome to Mozambique! #AISMlearns #mathchat #edchat

[AISM Director @aism_director]

@sherrattsam We had a conversation about this @AISMmoz. Educator agency is vital but reflection and inquiry has to be informed by the needs if kearners and the school context. Agency without direction results in being busy but not necessarily learning. Just like learners.
