Charles Leadbeater is an internationally renowned author and advisor on innovation, including to the OECD’s 2030 framework. His latest paper, in partnership with the Association of Independent Schools of South Australia, presents lessons participating schools learned from the three-year Student Agency Lab project in South Australia. The ‘A Lab’ helped schools help one another develop practical approaches to achieving greater agency among students. The schools also explored the role of teachers, as well as the organization and leadership of the whole school.

In this interview, Leadbeater spoke with Anthony Mackay about the lessons outlined in the paper and what they mean for the future of education. Watch the interview below and read the full paper here.
