In only some years, today’s children and teens will forge careers that look nothing like those that were to be had to their parents or grandparents. Even as the U.S. economy becomes ever more information-driven, our system of education seems stuck on the concept “content is king,” neglecting other skills that 21st century citizens sorely need.
Becoming Brilliant offers solutions that parents can enforce presently. Backed by the contemporary scientific evidence and illustrated with examples of what is being done right in schools today, this book introduces the “6Cs” collaboration, communication, content, critical thinking, creative innovation, and confidence in conjunction with ways parents can nurture their children s development in every area.
