Dalla quarta di copertina

Transform your in-class and out-of-class teaching strategies with disruptive digital technologies.

Free Agent Learning: Leveraging Students’ Self-Directed Learning to Transform K-12 Education presents a revolutionary new way to engage with students by relying on technologies they already use every day. Drawing on seventeen years of original research, expert education researcher Dr. Julie A. Evans describes the tools that K-12 students use for day-to-day self-directed learning and the motivations that drive them to engage with educational material. She goes on to explain actionable tips and strategies for transforming your school and classrooms to incorporate the new educational opportunities available today.

The book contains new insights and frameworks designed to effectively leverage the lived experiences of your students and create a social, untethered, and relevant experience that is more inclusive, equitable, and meaningful for everyone.

Free Agent Learning is a can’t-miss resource for public, private, parochial, and charter school leaders seeking to meet the challenges of improving student learning outcomes, addressing achievement gaps, and changing school cultures to support education transformations. It will also interest teacher educators, university faculty, and postsecondary students of education.

“Free Agent Learning explores how students might become co-designers and stewards of learning experiences that extend beyond school walls and receive credit for anytime, anywhere, passion-driven learning. Evans explains how having a meaningful choice in the path and pace of the learning process is important to students based on Speak Up data from surveying students since 2004. She lifts up a fundamental principle—a majority of students want to be in control of when and how they learn. An important consideration is how education systems will need to evolve to shift power to the learner, in hopes students can build agency over the path and pace of their learning with a focus on purpose and student goals, and underscores how advanced digital learning can support this vision.”
