While US based, in this talk  Dr. Peter Gray compellingly brings attention to the reality that over the past 60 years there has been a gradual but, overall dramatic decline in children's freedom to play with other children, without adult direction. Over this same period, there has been a gradual but overall dramatic increase in anxiety, depression, feelings of helplessness, suicide, and narcissism in children and adolescents. (16 minutes)

Ten Trends 2014: Agency from EDtalks on Vimeo.

Derek Wenmoth (CORE Education) describes this growing trend towards agency as having three important parts;
  1. The student using their ‘initiative’ to act - being independent and self starting. 
  2. The student also having an ‘interdependent’ relationship on others - both their teachers and their peers. 
  3. The student having an awareness that their decisions impact on them, others and their peers.

The Call to Unite  | Sir Ken Robinson | ​

Learning is the most natural process in the world, we love to learn, we’re deeply curious, highly creative, deeply compassionate, and highly collaborative. The education system/formal schooling has not been very aligned with this natural state of things - it's been standardised and focussed on output instead of getting the environment right!

The Surprising Truth About Learning in Schools | Will Richardson | 

We know how to help kids develop into powerful learners. Now, we just need to make that happen in schools.
