The following selection of NTN Practices Cards are intended to support you with key sections of the Agency Classroom Environment Survey. After giving the survey and analyzing the data, including celebrating successes, consider which practices you might implement to promote the development of student agency. Each card title is followed by the deck in which you can find the card (Culture Practices, Learner-Centered Practices, or Assessment Practices or the Math Problem-Based Learning Practices Cards) and the number of the card. See New Tech Network Practices Cards Overview for access to the NTN Practices Cards.
