Webinar Overview:

KnowAtom presents this concise 30-minute on-demand webinar exploring a question that resonates with every educator who has struggled with student behaviour: what if the root cause isn't the student, but the learning environment? The session examines the critical connection between student agency, deep learning, and classroom behaviour, offering a fresh perspective on why disengagement and behavioural issues often spike when students lack genuine ownership of their learning. Rather than focusing on behaviour management techniques, this webinar reframes the conversation around learning design. KnowAtom, known for its Next Generation Science Standards-aligned STEM curriculum for grades K-8, brings its expertise in hands-on, inquiry-driven instruction to demonstrate how giving students real agency — the opportunity to lead their own investigations, solve authentic problems, and make meaningful choices in their learning — can fundamentally shift classroom dynamics. Participants will learn how to recognise when a lack of deep learning is driving behaviour issues, and gain practical tools for identifying and adjusting learning environments to promote both engagement and self-regulation. For educators seeking solutions that address the cause rather than the symptom, this brief but impactful webinar offers an evidence-informed starting point for rethinking how classroom design can transform student behaviour.
