Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While student agency is considered an important aspect of classroom learning, opportunities to support and promote agency can be easily missed. This book addresses the inner dimensions of student agency to show what it is, why it is needed, and how it can be translated into instructional practices. In Part I, Locating Student Agency, Vaughn offers a model of agency that can become a core remedy for educators looking for new and better ways to support the learning of historically marginalized students. Part II, Growing Student Agency, illuminates opportunities during instruction where teachers can build upon student contributions. The book includes the voices of teachers who have transformed their classrooms, as well as compelling case stories rich with ideas that teachers can adopt in their own instruction. Student Agency in the Classroom will provide educators at every level, and across all disciplines, with the underlying research and theoretical rationale for this key educational force, along with the practical means to incorporate it into instruction and curriculum. Book Features: A comprehensive framework that outlines three core dimensions needed to cultivate student agency: dispositional, motivational, and positional.Detailed strategies and ideas for creating a culture of agency in the classroom and schoolwide.A collaborative way of thinking about how teachers, teacher educators, and school leaders can promote and cultivate agency.The author’s experience as a classroom teacher, professional developer, and researcher.Classroom vignettes, teacher interviews, and conversations with students. Extension sections and discussion questions at the end of chapters.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “When students know how to learn, they are able to become their own teachers.” —Nancy Frey, Douglas Fisher, and John Hattie Imagine students who describe their learning in these terms: “I know where I’m going, I have the tools I need for the journey, and I monitor my own progress.” Now imagine the extraordinary difference this type of ownership makes in their progress over the course of a school year. This illuminating book shows how to make this scenario an everyday reality. With its foundation in principles introduced in the authors’ bestselling Visible Learning for Literacy, this resource delves more deeply into the critical component of self-assessment, revealing the most effective types of assessment and how each can motivate students to higher levels of achievement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers fresh perspectives on the challenges of assessment and feedback in higher education. A must-read for university leaders, academics, and educational developers, it asks ‘what if’ questions to unlock some of the systemic problems of assessment and feedback. It shifts the debate to focus on students’ experience at a programme level, introducing a different way of thinking about assessment and feedback, and advancing the value of theories of alienation and engagement. Based on the ‘Transforming the Experience of Students through Assessment’ (TESTA) project, the book discusses a method for understanding the impact of assessment and feedback on student learning. Drawing on evidence from TESTA, it provides practical insights about changing programme assessment patterns to foster student agency and engagement. The book gives impetus to changing the design assessment and feedback, inviting academics, educational leaders, and students into more transparent, open, and shared decision-making about assessment and feedback beyond the module level. This key title is designed to support academics and educational leaders to making sustainable and systemic improvements to the pedagogy of assessment. It expands on good principles, practices, and theories about how students learn from assessment and feedback by paying attention to a programme level perspective of the student experience.

Book excerpt: Heutagogy, or self-determined learning, redefines how we understand learning and provides some exciting opportunities for educators. It is a novel approach to educational practice, drawing on familiar concepts such as constructivism, capability, andragogy and complexity theory.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: * This book identifies how assessment and feedback contribute to alienation among students. It is richly contextualised in a large body of TESTA evidence, which has been gathered from hundreds of programmes in more than 50 UK universities, Ireland, India and Australia. New insights are that the context of assessment, and the overarching educational paradigm are fostering student alienation rather than agency. * The book will examine proven and principled ways to counter alienation linked to assessment design, feedback, and internalising standards. * It uses case studies of whole programme assessment practices (both formative and summative) to illuminate engaging, relational and educationally principled strategies, and provides the tools to design assessment which connects to students' experiences, mirrors real-world practice, and enables students to engage in relational, research-based and original work.
