MESC - Dr. Christine Malik - Back-to-School Reset: A Practical Plan to Build Student Ownership and Increase Engagement in the First 30 Days

Dr. Malik - Back-to-School Reset
August 3, 2026 - 2:00-3:00pm

This 60 minute webinar is designed for administrators seeking to increase student ownership, engagement, and academic outcomes through the development of learner agency. Many schools are currently experiencing low student engagement, inconsistent academic growth, and teacher burnout driven by classrooms that rely heavily on compliance rather than ownership. This session introduces a clear, actionable framework that helps leaders shift from teacher-driven instruction to student-centered learning environments where students take responsibility for their progress. Administrators will gain a practical understanding of what learner agency looks like in action and walk away with three high-impact strategies their faculty can implement immediately. These strategies are designed to lay the foundation for measurable improvements in student achievement and classroom outcomes.
