Toowoomba teacher sees the powerful results of giving students choice

---

Toowoomba Grammar School teacher Michael Cocks thinks he’s figured it out. “The biggest benefit seems to be student engagement. Every time I ask the students whether they like this approach, it’s 100 per cent success, so they all love this...” Cocks explains. “I think that’s because it’s that sense of ownership, it’s the engagement with the learning, because they feel like they choose what works best for them.”
