Building Learner Agency in Schools

The Solution: Learner Agency Framework

Overall Transformation

Teachers will purposefully design learning environments to equip students with the skills to take ownership of their learning and achieve academic success.
Students will lead their learning journey, take ownership of their progress, and authentically demonstrate their achievements.

Learner Agency is a key component of Domain III, Standard 3 of The Ohio Catholic School Accrediting Association’s Domains, Standards and Benchmarks for Excellent Catholic Schools.

If your school is targeting Benchmarks 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, or 3.6, we can help. Our Catholic School Accreditation Partnership Services can be seamlessly bundled with the Teach Lead Thrive Framework to streamline your implementation and meet your accreditation goals.
