These experts can help conference work (older year level) or simply, explain how a must do needs to be done or support them with choosing which one to do. These experts apply for the job.

This ensures that learners have mixed ability opportunities and conversations with a wider mix of other students throughout the week across the core areas of numeracy & literacy that are over and above their targeted guided sessions.]]> 2017-10-11 23:01:40 UTC https://padlet.com/jana_benson/innovativelearningenvironments/wish/196240469 https://padlet.com/jana_benson/innovativelearningenvironments/wish/196240702 In a year 3 & 4 classroom we monitor what students are doing through must do chart. They tick off when they finish a task. We check these every morning or while waiting for the ending bell and have mini discussions about what to achieve the next day.]]> 2017-10-11 23:04:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jana_benson/innovativelearningenvironments/wish/196240702 https://padlet.com/jana_benson/innovativelearningenvironments/wish/196241511 We need to scaffold and provide opportunities to guide students to self-manage and utilise the range of spaces and learning activities available. Create a communal langauage and understanding of how they can enhance their learning through the use of those spaces. ]]> 2017-10-11 23:10:54 UTC https://padlet.com/jana_benson/innovativelearningenvironments/wish/196241511 https://padlet.com/jana_benson/innovativelearningenvironments/wish/196241594 We emphasis that student choice is a privilege in class. Therefore sitting where and who you want to, is a privilege. If we have students who continue to make 'bad choices' of who they sit by and where, then they can loose the privilege and sit at individual tables until they self-manage their time and work and get to sit where they want again. The same goes for picking their daily timetable, if they don't attend workshops or do the work, then they again can loose that privilege and have conferencing sessions with teachers to plan their day. 

Our class is set out with individual tables, groups tables, paired tables and floor spaces etc. We have set it up so they have the freedom to work together, with a buddy, at a teacher table, or alone. To have student agency, you need to have enough choices in the class.]]> 2017-10-11 23:11:49 UTC https://padlet.com/jana_benson/innovativelearningenvironments/wish/196241594 leighj5 https://padlet.com/jana_benson/innovativelearningenvironments/wish/244788882 The learning environment has to support, foster and encourage learner agency. The space has to allow an organic approach for the learner. ]]> 2018-03-21 23:15:09 UTC https://padlet.com/jana_benson/innovativelearningenvironments/wish/244788882
