Empowering learners occurs by cultivating environments and mindsets that promote learner agency and begins with centering the learner. By promoting academic mindsets, learners gain control over the learning process and this is the first step in increasing learner efficacy and agency. 

 

We begin by considering the academic mindsets as a form of identity: 

 

Belonging in the community

Having meaning and purpose

 Skills growing with effort

&

The belief that I can succeed at this!

​

We continue with visible learning so that the learning process becomes very clear:

​

Making the implicit, explicit

Employing Incremental Learning Theory

&

Providing feedback that feeds forward

​

And we continually reflect by asking:

​

Where am I now?

Where am I going?

How am I going to get there?

​

Let's get started!
