Question: Why does the "Secret Formula" for 21st Century Success Work?
Answer: For the last 100 years, high schools and colleges have tried to provide students with the most important courses. The thinking was that if students take the right courses and learn the right content, it's impossible for them to fail. Afterall, the difference between success and failure is "how much you know?"
The problem with that thinking is that it's an OLD MINDSET! And it doesn't follow the new, groundbreaking 21st century research that has come out over the last 20 years. According to that research, "how much" a student knows is no longer as important as "WHAT" a student can do.
And there's a huge difference in those two philosophies. On the one hand, the OLD school system wants to test and measure "how much" a student can remember, and on the other hand, Leaf Academy is more focused on "WHAT" a student can do in real life.
In 2011, Leaf Academy founder D.Scott Schwartz, M.Ed, became one of the first school superintendents in the country to develop and adopt a 21st century skills curriculum. This was a groundbreaking event in education history because at the time, every other high school or college in America was still following the OLD MINDSET!
But here's why this NEW mindset works. When you focus on "WHAT" a student can do, learning how to read, write and do math means something NEW. That's right, it's not important if a student memorizes formulas, but can they use the formula in real life? It's not important "how many" books a student can read, but can they "USE" reading in real life?
This change in MINDSET changes everything! When you join Leaf Academy, you will learn the five special 21st century skills you need to know so you can climb over any obstacle life puts in your way. If you want to build a career, build your wealth or build an empire - you need to know how to "USE" these five skills in real life.
