From Choices To Decisions: Agency in the primary classroom
On Day 6 of the Global Teachers' Festival 2026, Michelle explores how primary teachers can build learner agency by gradually developing children’s decision‑making skills through routines, structured choices, and supportive classroom culture. She shows how small, low‑risk activities like This or That help students make informed choices, take responsibility, collaborate, and reflect on their learning. With practical tools such as guided options, classroom roles, decision trees, reflection routines, and student‑voice strategies, this session offers simple, realistic steps for growing autonomy without losing structure.
