At Sekolah Victory Plus, we believe every child holds the potential to become a confident, capable individual who actively shapes their world. This belief is at the heart of our approach, particularly within the Primary Years Programme (PYP), where we deeply commit to fostering student agency.
What is a Student Agency?
Student Agency is more than just a pedagogical concept. It’s a fundamental shift in how we view learning where children are not just passive recipients of information but active architects of their educational journey. At Sekolah Victory Plus PYP, we bring this to life through three interconnected pillars:
Voice: Amplifying Every Idea at Sekolah Victory Plus
As an IB school, we recognize that true learning begins when children feel truly heard, fostering a powerful sense of agency in communication. From expressing thoughts during morning meetings to co-creating classroom agreements, our students are consistently encouraged to articulate their opinions, ask probing questions, and share their unique perspectives.
Choice: Guiding Their Own Path
Empowering students with meaningful choices is crucial for developing intrinsic motivation and a strong sense of agency in their learning direction. Within our Units of Inquiry, students often have the opportunity to select specific areas of interest to research, choose how they want to investigate a topic, or decide which problems to explore.
Ownership: Investing in Their Learning Journey
Students at our international school are guided to set personal learning goals, monitor their progress, and reflect on their learning journey. This practice helps them understand their strengths, identify areas for growth, and proactively seek solutions, driving their individual agency.
