The 3 Simple Keys To Running a Better School Are
Better Curriculum, Better Teachers and Better Leaders

Why The 3 Simple Keys Work?

The truth is education shouldn't be complicated. So when you're looking at your school and you find it hard to figure out what's going wrong - that's when a light bulb should go off saying "we've over complicated things."

So what should you do instead? And the answer is make education simple.

This is why the 3 simple keys work better than what the old K12 system has been doing for the last 100 years. But you can't take my word for it, its important to see the data.

From 2009 to 2019, Doc and his team ran 3 education pilot programs, all approved by the NJ Department of Education that solved the 3 major crises in education today - curriculum, teaching, and school leadership.

And this is what they found.

Better Curriculum

First, your curriculum is the key to unlocking student achievement. If you want every student that goes to your school to graduate with the ability to pursue any dream - then you must fix your curriculum first.

"What" you teach matters a lot more than you think it does, which is why one of the pilot programs Doc launched was the Next Gen Skills curriculum. 

What this brand new curriculum does is give teachers the power to engage students at a level that's impossible to do with the old curriculum. The fact is millions of teachers keep complaining about students for tuning out, getting bored and acting out in class than ever before.

But why are students reacting this way? And the answer is the curriculum we use in our classrooms is no longer relevant to the 21st century. For example, how long could you sit and watch paint dry? The answer is probably not very long, so then why are we asking kids to learn a 19th century curriculum?

What 21st century students need is a forward thinking curriculum that teaches them everything they will need for the 21st century, and not force them to memorize the same facts and data they could otherwise access on their smartphones.

The truth is AI can only replace humans, when humans stop thinking. Therefore, the Next Gen Skills curriculum teaches kids "how to think." So if you want your students to start thinking 21st century, then you must use a Next Gen Skills curriculum.

Better Teachers

It's very important that everyone agree with this statement: "You cannot run a great school without great teachers."

One of the problems with an over complicated K12 system is that teachers get overlooked and ignored. And that's not a small problem, it's in fact a huge problem that needs to be addressed.

There is only one way to help teachers become great. And that way is through targeted and individualistic professional development. That means, teachers need coaches, mentors and also an individualized teacher development plan for growth. 

Now its time to look back at your school and tell me, "where is your individualized teacher development plan?"

In 2009, Doc and his team launched the Teacher Development Program, which helped 5,000 teachers go from novice to expert in the classroom. And what that means is, all 5,000 of those teachers knew how to write expert level lesson plans, knew how to structure the most supportive and positive learning environment in the world and also knew how to manage their stress levels, so they never felt overwhelmed or burnt out. 

This is how you retain teachers and prevent them from quitting your school and the profession. 

Better Leaders

If you don't know this saying yet, then its very important you start repeating it over and over again, "great schools need great leaders."

And the fastest way to find a great leader to run your school is by training them to be great leaders. But how do you do that? After all, aren't great leaders just born that way?

In 2013, Doc and his team launched the Principal's Academy, which helped thousands of administrators, from supervisors to Superintendents become great leaders. And at the heart of this pilot program were the 6 principles of leadership.

When you learn the 6 principles of leadership, it becomes impossible for you to be a bad leader. And that's because the 6 principles remind you why leaders matter and also how to not screw everything up.

Want to Disrupt Education Without Disrupting Everything?

Repeat After Me: "Great schools need great leaders."
But if that's true, where will schools find all of these great leaders?
And this is where the 6 Principles of Leadership Come Into Play...

The biggest mistake the Ivy League doctorates tend to make is that complicated means quality, when the truth is the opposite. In fact, the simpler you make your school district, the easier it is to educate your students. And to prove that point, let's use the 6 principles of leadership to show why our K12 system hasn't done a very good job preparing kids for the 21st century.

Before we begin, the very first thing you need to know is that the 6 principles of leadership come from academic research and are not a made up formula by some person sitting in an Ivory Tower somewhere, disconnected from reality. The truth is if you want to be a great leader, you must not only understand the 6 principles, but you must practice them every single day.

And here's why?

Great leaders all do the same thing. One, they know where they want to go. Two, they understand how to plot out goals, in order to get there. Three, they don't make decisions without considering how they will affect everyone on their team. Four, they know how to organize and develop a team environment. Five, they know how to listen and get good feedback. And six, they reflect on everything they are doing well and what they still need to learn and improve.

These are the 6 principles of leadership and if you analyze any great leader in history - they all followed this principles.

Therefore, if you're wondering where to find the next great leader - then the answer is, stop looking and start training.

The only reason the Principal's Academy was such a huge success helping thousands of school administrators become better leaders is because it stopped assuming that people in positions of power knew what to do - and just taught them the 6 principles of leadership, so they could figure out the answers on their own.

The problem is you can't figure out real world problems, unless you know all 6 principles first. 

Therefore, if you were looking for the missing link in our modern day K12 system - this is it. Teaching kids the 6 principles of leadership is no longer an option when you consider that AI is going to take over most people's jobs. But what no one is talking about is the fact that AI cannot replace humans, as long as humans know how to think. 

So why aren't we teaching kids how to think in school?

When you learn the 6 principles of leadership - you bulletproof yourself against AI. 

And that's the bottom line. 

In 2020, Georgetown University published a report that said every school must start teaching kids leadership skills in the 21st century. And yet, none of our K12 schools listened. This is not just a huge mistake, but its a missed opportunity. Therefore, don't make the same mistake twice. Now is the time to bring your school into the 21st century, by teaching your students the 6 principles of leadership.

And the fastest way to teach kids the 6 principles is to read this book, "Disrupting Education."

Not only does this book outline how to disrupt education, without disrupting everything, but it also provides you with a detailed look at all 6 principles. If you only read that one chapter, this book can literally save your school district from hurting your students futures. And isn't that what you want to do? Or do you want to set your students up for failure?

The fact is 21st century kids must learn the 6 principles of leadership skills, if they are going to compete against AI and learn how to pursue their own dreams. This isn't the 20th century anymore, where you can go to college and automatically land a high paying job. That's no longer how the world works, which means - kids need new skills.

And one of those new skills is leadership.

Just in case, you didn't realize this before, but leaders are not born - they are taught. And once you realize leadership is a learned skill, that's when you also realize we must teach kids the 6 principles of leadership in school. So then what are we waiting for?? Now is the time to learn the 6 principles of leadership for yourself, so that you can pass on this knowledge to your kids.

If the school system isn't going to prepare students for student - then why should you sit by and let it happen.

If you want your kids to start paying attention more and to hang on every word you say, then tell them you can help them become the CEO and boss they always dreamed of being. That's right, that is exactly what teaching them the 6 principles of leadership can do. Once they learn these 6 principles, they will know exactly how to put a plan together that will allow them to pursue their dreams.

This is a total game changer for everyone that read this book. And if that's what you have been searching for, something that gives your kids an edge over everyone else in the world - then this book "Disrupting Education" gives them that edge. 

Which means, the choice is up to you.

Do you want your kids to become great leaders and start building the life they want to live or do you want to keep relying on the old, slow and out of touch school system to force your kids to memorize the same facts they can pull up on their smartphones? 

The choice is clear. Your kids need to learn the 6 principles of leadership, otherwise they will never be able to compete against AI.

Therefore, if you want to teach them the 6 principles of leadership, then you must read this book  "Disrupting Education." You can order your copy on Amazon by clicking the yellow button. This book is available in both paperback and kindle versions.

The Next Gen Leadership Workbook

Welcome to Leaf Academy, where dreams become a reality. That's right - if you have a dream, the truth is all you need is a 21st century education to make it come true. 

And here's the proof. 

In 2011, I started teaching kids the 21st century curriculum I developed inside the K12 district program I was running at the time. For the last decade, thousands of kids, teachers, administrators and adults have been exposed to this 21st century education. And the fact is - more kids who graduated high school with a 21st century education didn't need to go to college, in order to pursue their career goals.

Not only that, but many students were able to turn their dreams into successful businesses.

And if you don't believe me, then listen to this story.

I was a K12 superintendent from 2009-2019. The students in my K12 district program could not afford to go to college, not without taking out massive college loans. The problem is that college degrees no longer lead to high paying jobs. And why is that a problem?

Because if you have a college loan for more than $50,000 and you don't earn $200,000 or more per year, you will NEVER pay that loan off before you turn 65.

Do You Want College Loan Debt for the Rest of Your Life?

Of course you don't!

And I didn't want my students to have financially crippling college loan debt either.

That's why I started conducting extensive academic research to try and develop the world's most cutting-edge, 21st century education. I wanted to find out the answer to this question:

"What skills would make college obsolete?"

And I found the answer.

Do You Want to Jumpstart Your Roadmap for Success?

If the Answer is YES!!
Then Sign Up for the Starter Program!!

The webinar you watched is just the beginning of the journey.

That's because I developed the Roadmap for Success after doing 20 years of academic research. You heard me, the Roadmap for Success is the result of 20 years of academic research. Did you even realize that??

The truth is that everyone must complete 6 stages of life in order to become successful. That's how I developed the Roadmap. That means, if you want to become a doctor, an entrepreneur or even a general contractor, you need to complete 6 stages on your Roadmap for Success!!

What is your dream?
What do you want to achieve in life?
How do you define success?

Making College Obsolete!!

Saving My Students from a Life-Time of Debt!!

For the last decade, I have been using this 21st century curriculum in the K12 district program I ran as a school superintendent. And what you need to know is that my students didn't need to go to college after they graduated from high school.

I know it's hard to believe. But that's only because every high school in America doesn't teach a cutting-edge 21st century education. That's the difference! That's what you need to know!

This is the most cutting-edge, 21st century education in the world. That means, if you enroll in the Starter Program, you are just getting the very beginning of the most advanced and innovative education you can receive.

Is that what you want?
Do you want an edge in life?
Would you like to learn what the academic research says about success in the 21st century?

If the Answer is YES!!
Then Sign Up Today!!

The students in the K12 district program I ran could not afford college without taking out a massive college loan. That's not fair. How can someone who grows up in a low socio-economic environment be expected to move up to middle class, when they have this gigantic college loan debt hanging around their neck for the rest of their lives?

And the answer is they can't!

The answer is it's impossible.

That's not fair, which is why I was dedicated to do the research and develop the world's most cutting-edge, 21st century education. My students deserved to graduate from high school knowing more than college graduates. And in some cases, my high school graduates were more prepared than MBA alum,

For example, one of my former students became a successful entrepreneur at the age of 23. Another former graduate enrolled in the #1 culinary program in America. And a third former student boosted their literacy from Kindergarten to 9th grade in 5 years.

There is no K12 district on record that can match these positive student outcomes. And not only that, but there is no school district located in an inner city or low socio-economic neighborhood with these types of results.

Shouldn't that tell you something??

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get my $300 Member Credit Dollars?
When you fill out the registration form, the Member Credit Dollars are automatically applied to your shopping cart.  
Why is the TD program $347 a year?
The TD program contains three layers of support. Right now, the TD program is small and doesn't require a lot of staff, but as more and more schools join on, we will need to hire teachers and staff to manage each layer. We will need a team of teachers to read all the Questions in the Q & A Forum and write answers. We will need experienced and trained teachers to moderate and supervise the Mentor Circle. We don't want to pay teachers minimum wage, which means we need to charge a reasonable amount per year. But we also wanted to give 3x the value to teachers. And we over delivered on that promise. The TD program is worth $3,991, which means Teachers are getting 10x the value for $347 per year. 
What's my time commitment?
Great question. The TD program is a support resource for you. If you have a question, then log on and submit it. If you have free time, read the answers. If you want to learn something specific about students or your classroom, then log on and go to the TD Video Archive. The point is NOT TO ADD ON, but to help you manage your job better. If you trust the TD program, by the end of the year, you will be able to write high performance lesson plans in less time. You will know 3x more classroom strategies than your colleagues do and you will feel 3x less stressed out than everyone you work with. Only put in as much time as you want or need. The TD Program is teacher-centered, so it works on YOUR SCHEDULE!
What kind of growth can I expect?
Another great question.  The TD Program was designed with your growth in mind. Once you register, we will know more about you. What your teacher strengths are and what your areas for improvement are. You can choose to work with us to develop a goal plan or if you have one from your district, we can work together to fulfill those goals. The bottom line is that you will NEVER have to do anything on your own the entire school year AND you will be 3x further along than any colleague in your school. Remember, you are getting 3x the support, so it's easy to say you will grow 3x as much.
