Learner‑centred teaching places learners at the heart of decision‑making, recognising their goals, experiences, and aspirations. In this interactive workshop, participants will explore how rangatiratanga is enacted in ACE teaching practice and how educators can support learners to have ownership over their learning journeys. The session focuses on practical shifts in teaching practice that increase learner voice, choice, and agency.
You will explore:
