Student Agency P.D with Brad Gay 12/5/16

How do we build our knowledge of Student Agency at HNI?

We teased out the the concepts of questioning and student voice/choice.

How to be a good questioner?

• Won't accept the first answer/ hurdle/ digging
• Curiousity
• Confident
• More than one answer
• Communication and clarity to verbalise
• Open to know more
• Active listener
• Reflective
• Asking a range of questions
• Cyclical
• Self reflective and aware of yourself and your thinking
• Patient/ Impatient
• Thinks about the big picture

Good student voice and choice

• Feels comfortable to give feedback
• Confident to question the concept
• Opportunities to explore the elements of the concept
• Are given opportunity to explore their interests within the concept
• Start to give ideas of activities: offer up ideas for further action/social action.
• Opportunities to speak up in a form they feel comfortable with
• Share their learning in a variety of ways.
• Opportunities to both collaborative and individual work.
• Opportunities to discuss with other students.
• Cultural and personality perspectives considered/family values

One way to build knowledge in staff is to tease out concepts together one or two at a time. A model that can be used when discussing is the ECG. Emotion, Cognition and Growth.

Reflection for PTC’s

Emotion	Cognition	Growth
How do I feel about this? What issues does it raise? What’s my heart's response?	What have I learned? How does this connect with what I know? What’s my head’s response?	How can I use this to strengthen my work? How can I apply it? What might I introduce? What action might I take?
