Student Agency

Every student walks into our classrooms with agency. The question is whether our design honors it.

🟢Design Your High Quality Designed Playlist

Playlist Choice Board

Start with the end in mind. Use the backward design process to start building your playlist.

What do you want students to know, understand, or do at the end of this playlist?

How will you measure progress toward learning objectives?
What assessment strategy will you use?
Can you build student agency into the assessment strategy so students can decide how they demonstrate or share their learning?

What on-demand instruction and models will students need to understand key concepts or processes?
What learning activities will help them make meaning or progress toward learning objectives?
How can the playlist support them in applying what they are learning?
When would teacher check-ins be most helpful?
