How Teachers and Leaders Can Build the Bridge to Student Ownership (Tanya Bosco)

How Teachers and Leaders Can Build the Bridge to Student Ownership (Tanya Bosco)

In 2025, great teaching isn’t about delivering content — it’s about curating it, unleashing student curiosity, and building true student efficacy.But here’s the twist: teachers can’t foster efficacy if leaders are still ferry-captains instead of bridge-builders.In my latest conversation with Tanya Bosco (Chief Strategy Officer at IDE Corp), we unpack the leadership mindset shifts from her new book Students Taking Charge: Implementation Guide for Leaders. We covered: 🔹 The difference between student engagement, empowerment, and efficacy 🔹 How an efficacy notebook transforms learning ownership 🔹 Why leaders must shift from dissemination → conversation 🔹 How to avoid “surface innovation” traps 🔹 What future-powered classrooms actually look and feel like 🔹 And the big one: why real transformation should feel like joyIf we want students who believe “I can change the world,” we need schools designed for it — from the classroom up and the leadership down.
