The document discusses the need to develop learning experiences that cultivate resilient agency in students. It argues that in today's world, students need to be able to independently direct their own learning, think creatively, collaborate with others, and persist in the face of challenges. The document presents a model of "learning power" that identifies key dimensions like sense-making, creativity, collaboration, and hope/optimism that enable resilient agency. It also provides a self-assessment tool called the Crick Learning for Resilient Agency Profile that students can use to reflect on their strengths and growth areas across these dimensions.
