These are educational practices that prioritize student empowerment and autonomy. Children are given the opportunity to actively shape their own learning experiences by creating, monitoring, and improving upon them. This is often achieved through collaboration among students, where they take on leadership roles within the learning process and teach one another. By giving students a greater degree of agency and control over their education, it becomes a pathway that is defined by the students themselves, rather than by a fixed curriculum or top-down instruction.

This is a student-centered approach to education, which is a pedagogy that puts the needs, interests, and abilities of the students at the center of the learning process. This approach values the active participation of the students and encourages them to explore real-world challenges and problems, which is believed to lead to a deeper understanding and retention of the material. This approach is often referred to as a dynamic learning approach, as it allows for a flexible and adaptive teaching method that can respond to the changing needs of the students.

The Socratic method is a teaching method that is based on the idea of using questions and dialogue to stimulate critical thinking and learning. It is a form of cooperative dialogue  in which questions are posed to the students to encourage them to think critically, consider different perspectives and explore their own understanding of a concept or topic. Students are guided to discover the answers for themselves. This method is used to help students develop their reasoning and analytical skills, as well as  collaborative communication and serves as a springboard for strong Academic Conversation.
