Sophie is available to deliver a keynote presentation that shares the key ideas from Teacher Autonomy: Where Has It Gone And Why We Need It Back. The presentation explores where teacher autonomy has been lost, why it matters, and what it means for our work. Sophie examines the themes and questions raised throughout the book to uncover the pressures that limit teacher agency and the impact this has on teaching and learning. The keynote also explores the parallel issue of child autonomy, another central chapter in the book, considering how young people's independence, voice, and ownership of learning have been constrained, and why restoring it is essential for meaningful educational change.
The presentation focuses on how we can move forward, using practical examples and reflective prompts to explore realistic ways to rebuild professional freedom, strengthen voice, and take back greater control of practice. Q and A session included.
