In this episode of The Community Effect Podcast, we’re exploring a powerful concept that sits underneath almost everything we do as educators—but isn’t always named directly: student agency.
What if student disengagement isn’t about motivation… but about how learning is designed?
Through a powerful story from The End of Average by Todd Rose, Cindy unpacks why the idea of the “average student” may be one of the biggest barriers to true engagement—and what happens when we begin designing classrooms differently.
You’ll learn how shifting from compliance-based teaching to agency-driven learning can transform your classroom environment and help students move from passive participants to active partners in their learning.
