The Quest for Learner Agency | Rockhampton

Together, we’ll explore how to bring learning alive.

Be inspired by a series of opportunities to harness our collective expertise in how to cultivate learner agency. In the spirit of lifelong learning, we’ll take an inclusive view of "learner" – one that encompasses school leaders, teachers and students. In the search for the Holy Grail of "agency", we’ll go beyond definitions to where action is already generating knowledge, and draw clues from other fields of endeavour including neuroscience and the tech industry’s application of "agile" practices.
