Learner Agency: giving voice and choice to develop our students’ potential inside career advising

Creating opportunities for student agency within the learning context fosters a sense of empowerment and ownership, therefore supporting learner agency is crucial for effective guidance and orientation in education, thus allowing students to find their own voice and make informed choices for their future. In addition, by shifting from a teacher-centered to a learner-centered approach, teaching will become more effective while metacognition will support students in becoming active participants in their own education.

This webinar will provide practical examples to develop a mindset of learner agency in students, highlighting the important role of teachers in facilitating meaningful interactions. It will also explain how to integrate learner agency inside our classes career advising curricula, and the benefits it will provide.
