The Evolution of Learner Agency at Beaconhouse
Beaconhouse has pioneered Learner Agency, empowering students to own their learning. The journey began in 2021 with Regional LAP Conferences, where schools explored student-driven learning in their contexts. This led to the 2023 National LAP Conference, reinforcing learner-led classrooms through innovation, collaboration, and agency in action.
Now, celebrating its 50th Jubilee in 2025, Beaconhouse takes this impact global with the International LAP Conference, uniting national and international schools, students, educators, and thought leaders to shape the future of learning and amplify the role of agency in education.
Learner Agency & Teacher Agency: A Powerful Interplay
For Learner Agency to thrive, Teacher Agency must be at its core. When teachers exercise professional autonomy, make informed instructional decisions, and create enabling environments, they amplify student agency. The 2025 International LAP Conference highlights this powerful interplay, showing that empowered teachers nurture confident, self-directed, and future-ready learners.
A Hybrid Experience: Connecting Globally
The International LAP Conference 2025 is a Beaconhouse exclusive event bringing together students and teachers from across the network to showcase agency-led projects driving meaningful change. This platform for empowered learning and teaching highlights how learner and teacher agency foster innovation, leadership, and global responsibility.
A hybrid event combines in-person and online participation to maximise accessibility and outreach. Projects will present real-world solutions aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), reinforcing Beaconhouse’s commitment to sustainable, impactful education.
