  • How to Future Proof Your Child: Classroom Without Walls' Iceberg Model

    How to future proof your child?  

    Most parents came to me thinking that academic learning or Grade Point Average (GPA) is all that it matters to future proof their kids.   

    WRONG  

    Research has shown GPA, for example, is actually inversely related to Innovation Orientation. In other words, the higher the GPA, the less likely that a kid is to innovate. 

    Other research has shown that creativity actually decreases as kids become more educated.   

    Based on my 10+ years of experience as a college professor and education consultant, I have discovered three additional elements that are crucial to a kid's future readiness, which include:  

    ➡️ New Media Literacy

    ➡️ Life Skills 

    ➡️ Mindset
