Actions  that  support  students  to  build  agency  will  be  identified  and  attendees  will  explore  the  impact  of  this  on  planning.  The  workshop  will  also  explore  changes  in  personal  pedagogy  needed  to  support  the  growth  of  student  agency  and  the  scaffolds  needed  to  implement  these.  Time  will  be  given  to  reflecting  on  how  this  impacts  on  current  teacher  planning  requirements  and  current  structures  of  learning  schemes.
