C29: Connecting Agency with International Mindedness - a podcast by Lu Gerlach

Now that we’ve received some ways to incorporate international mindedness into our daily practice, how will we use them?  Let’s go back to our agency continuum to gauge where we are in the process. 

As a reminder, the agency continuum has four phases: 

• Teacher-driven:  teacher is doing all the work and thinking
• Modeled:  teacher provides all of the activities and the students do it
• Guided:  the teacher provides the topic and the students design the process and product
• Learner-driven:  the learner chooses the topic and decides on the process and product

In this episode, we will take a few moments to think where we are and where we'd like to be with international mindedness. We will examine different ways we can demonstrate agency when developing international mindedness and make goals for the next phase of the school year.
