Which term describes sharing responsibility for learning decisions with students?

• A. Students as Co-leaders of Learning
• B. Peer Support
• C. Student-Led Conferences
• D. Check-Ins

Answer: (A)

Sharing responsibility for learning decisions with students centers on giving students real agency in designing and directing their learning. The term that best captures this is Students as Co-leaders of Learning because it signals equal partnership: students and teachers jointly set goals, select strategies, monitor progress, and decide how success is measured. This goes beyond other ideas like peer support, which focuses on students helping each other; student-led conferences, which are about students presenting their progress; or check-ins, which are routine updates that may be led primarily by the teacher. In practice, co-leaders would collaborate with the teacher to co-create learning targets, choose learning activities, and agree on assessment criteria, making learning decisions a shared venture.
