What is student agency?
Yes, it is voice & choice, but it goes deeper than that.
It is genuine decision making.
It is informed consent.
It is empowered learning experiences.
If we want student agency then we must consistently & routinely relinquish control & trust students.
If you ever feel like you're slogging through curriculum, this week's post and podcast may help. @sarahmfine shares the practices most common in spaces where deeper learning happens, and they can be replicated in your classroom, too.

Progress isn’t always about getting better. Sometimes it’s about bouncing back.
Success is not only the peaks you reach—it’s the valleys you conquer. Every experience of enduring adversity and overcoming obstacles is a meaningful accomplishment.
Resilience is a form of growth.
Nothing beats a new favourite series- G1/2 are comparing their love for @EliseGravel to @The_Pigeon’s Piggie and Elephant books…that is some mighty high praise from these readers!
Our Friendship Bench was destroyed on Tues and our very own Mr. Power was on a mission to get it fixed. Big thanks JDI Chipman for the wood donation and to the Tech students/teachers at L.H.H.S for rebuilding it. Mr. Power painted the bench and is now back on the playground!
What a turn out for Ms. Allison's @missallison3A Learning Celebration yesterday. The students presented their projects to their families and did an amazing job!
Our grade 1-2 class created a peace project for Ukraine this week. A big shout out to @missallison3A for being the first class in NB to participate.
Check out the link to a great initiative that is supports the peace process. @PSIKyiv

If at first you don’t succeed, you get a healthy reminder that nothing worth pursuing comes easily.
Rapid success rarely comes outside your comfort zone. If you hit your goal on the first try, you may be aiming too low.
Falling short is a sign that you're challenging yourself.
