This article argues that the Student Agency Profile (StAP) "can be a valuable tool for teachers to understand how students feel about their sense of agency in literacy." I read it for the discussion of what agency is and how it is measured. Agency, write the authors, "typically includes three dimensions: dispositional, focusing on how individuals possess intentions, confidence, and interest in dynamic learning spaces; motivational, focusing on how individuals persist, self‐regulate, and engage in the learning process; and Positional, focusing on how individuals position themselves (and are positioned) in learning context."
