In this Episode of THE VOCAL MIND - Where we focus on Education. We challenge the Norm, we defy traditions that are responsible for Breaking the System and Dumbing down the Brilliance of young people, year in - year out!
Revolutionizing Education: From Standardized Tests to Brilliance Profiles
What if our education system is actively diminishing the creative potential of our young people? NASA research shows that children's creative genius drops from 98% at age 6 to just 2% in adulthood. Why? Because traditional education prioritizes testing over discovery, memorization over meaning, and conformity over creativity.
In a recent discussion with Katerina Hansen Carlson, founder of Global Leadership Schools, we explored the urgent need to shift towards neuroscience-informed, project-based learning that nurtures each student's unique strengths—what we call their brilliance profile. Instead of teaching to the test, we must make learning relevant, engaging, and dynamic by incorporating real-world contexts, interdisciplinary projects, and personalized learning experiences.
🔥 Finland offers a model: collaborative curriculum design, no standardized testing until the final academic year, and a focus on student-led inquiry.
💡 Imagine classrooms where students are creators, not just consumers—where they own their learning, guided by teachers who lead, innovate, and inspire.
It's time for educators to challenge outdated norms and embrace what actually works. Let's empower the next generation with the skills and confidence they need for the jobs of the future—many of which don’t even exist yet.
Join the conversation. How can we shift from rote learning to real learning? 🚀 #EducationReform #NeuroscienceOfLearning #FutureOfEducation
