One of the many Primary Years Programme (PYP) core values is learner agency, It encourages the development of student voice, choice and ownership of their learning goals through experiences, This empowers students to influence and direct their own learning in collaboration with their teachers.

How learner agency is nurtured at TK

To facilitate learner agency in SK students at TK, Helene Boiron (TK's only kindergarten arts and physical literacy integration specialist) combined arts and physical literacy, which is the development of fundamental movement skills such as running, hopping, catching, and throwing so children gain the confidence to participate in various physical activities like sports and games. The combination of arts and physical literacy has allowed Helene to develop visually engaging learning spaces that provide a safe zone for personal expression, artistic exploration, exciting opportunities for discovery through sustained play and above all, an immense joy in learning.

Explore - Spontaneity

Musical exploration is a time for students to experiment with beat, rhythm and dynamics (volume and intensity of sound production) in music. Spontaneous reactions from the audience, such as dancing and clapping, support and guide the students in their improvisation.
