Every day we experience the uncertainty, risks, and emotional exposure that define what it means to be vulnerable or to dare greatly.

Latest Report July 2018
FYA’s latest report, The New Work Reality, follows the journeys of 14,000 young people over a decade to show that half of Australia’s 25 year-olds are unable to secure full-time employment, despite 60% holding post-school qualifications. The report identifies the four most significant factors that can accelerate the transition from full-time education to full-time work, including an education that builds enterprise skills, being able to undertake relevant paid work experience, finding paid employment in a sector which is growing and an optimistic mindset.

processes in learning experiences. It is an exceptional and thought provoking read. 

'My proposal is that the most effective learners, learners who have internalised what they have
learned and can transfer their learning to new situations, have generally engaged whole brain
processing in the learning process.']]> 2018-06-13 07:05:50 UTC https://padlet.com/katealliragiles/k4g632qkzt2f/wish/266956801 Teach, Tech, Play katealliragiles https://padlet.com/katealliragiles/k4g632qkzt2f/wish/266961337 Webshow

We're raising our girls to be perfect, and we're raising our boys to be brave, says Reshma Saujani, the founder of Girls Who Code. Saujani has taken up the charge to socialize young girls to take risks and learn to program -- two skills they need to move society forward. To truly innovate, we cannot leave behind half of our population, she says. "I need each of you to tell every young woman you know to be comfortable with imperfection."]]> 2018-06-13 08:13:32 UTC https://padlet.com/katealliragiles/k4g632qkzt2f/wish/266965957 The Impact of Technology on Empathy katealliragiles https://padlet.com/katealliragiles/k4g632qkzt2f/wish/266966947 Empathy allows us to understand the people around us, form relationships, and proceed
with compassion when tragedy strikes. It is integral both to the ability to form a society and to
work together for survival. And yet, in the Information Age, empathy seems to be atrophying.
In this article, I will show how technology has played its part in stifling empathy in the modern
world, and how we can instead use it to strengthen our ability to empathize with others. ]]> 2018-06-13 08:20:12 UTC https://padlet.com/katealliragiles/k4g632qkzt2f/wish/266966947 Cognitive Load Theory is a theory of how the human brain learns and stores knowledge.
