Abstract

‘The SOAR model' (as it has come to be used in the UK and abroad) is in effect a conceptual metamodel that scaffolds pedagogy, andragogy, and heutagogy in its design and delivery of response-able, equitable, and empowering learning for all students. SOAR invokes personally meaningful interconnections within and between the dimensions of self, opportunity, aspirations, and results through inbuilt requirements for self-reflection, action and interaction, research, analysis, and synthesis. It is inclusive while it values diversity, and its practical methodology enables all learners to become response-able while developing employability and sustainability for effective functioning in the diverse contexts of learning, work, and life in a changing, challenging world. This chapter shows how SOAR integrates and implements an ‘inside-out' systemic approach that teachers can adapt to deliver several key and currently siloed strategic agendas under one umbrella, thereby encompassing the much broader agenda of response-able transformational education that is sorely needed in contemporary times.
