Student agency is a critical component of effective teaching, empowering learners to take active ownership of their educational journey. By providing opportunities for choice, voice, and self-direction, educators cultivate an environment where students engage more deeply, think critically, and develop essential problem-solving skills. This approach not only enhances motivation and achievement but also fosters confidence, resilience, and a lifelong commitment to learning.
