Agile Classrooms Approach

For the innovative educator, who wants collaborative and self-directed students, yet is fearful that the classroom might slip into chaos without enough structure, Agile Classrooms empowers you with an operating system for 21st Century Learning that provides structures to scaffold and adapt student choice and collaboration.Unlike other prescriptive and rigid learning approaches that may work for academics, but are not transferable to the ‘real world’, Agile Classrooms are based on real-world approaches that the most innovative companies in the world use. In an Agile Classroom, your students are better able to meet the learning goals of today while being ready for the modern world of work they will enter. Unleashing Agile In the Classroom

Agile Classrooms helps students to:

• Set their own goals and objectives
• Use insights from prior learning to inform future learning goals
• Interpret what they want to learn and what they need to learn
• Manage scope of work and learning in relation to time constraints
• Apply initiative and self-direction
• Articulate need for support through self-advocacy
• Be accountable to self and others
• Practice effective conflict resolution skills
• Develop strategies for giving and receiving critical feedback
• Curate a toolkit of self-reflection tools
• Apply problem-solving strategies

So much of our current education system is based on rigid curriculums, set deadlines, and teacher-defined assessments.

But with students entering a fast-paced, dynamic, and uncertain world, they need to develop skills and mindsets now, in the classroom, that will help them excel where they are at while navigating the complexities of life.

That’s what Agile Education is here to do: more effectively prepare students for the 21st-century lives and careers they are destined to enter.
