Ron Berger: Effective approaches to driving student agency in learning (12.45-3.45pm)

Ron Berger, supported by XP Trust, will lead an interactive expert workshop to explore the powerful concept of students as leaders of their own learning. Drawing on Ron's extensive work with EL Education and his books Leaders of Their Own Learning and An Ethic of Excellence, you will be taken through a range of approaches that schools and trusts can use to develop more powerful and lasting learning for students that increases attainment and builds character. Participants will learn about practical strategies that have been applied in the English system such as student-led conferences, learning targets, and high-quality critique and revision. The session will offer inspiring examples and hands-on tools to help educators foster a culture of ownership, responsibility, and excellence in their classrooms—where students are not just recipients of education, but active, reflective agents of their own growth.

If you’re attending this session, we recommend taking your lunch between 11.55am-12.45pm. Alternatively a light lunch can be provided for those that would to prefer to have a working lunch.
