In the high stakes, high accountability environment, if one does not have a solution that answers to these primary pain points of current education officials, there will exist neither the audience nor the means to sustain either a business or a nation long-term. Solutions for the new era in education forthcoming will successfully marry those seeded initiatives that move the learner into a place of empowerment, yielding a highly engaged, higher consciousness individual that has the opportunity to develop his or her own unique set of gifts, and move with purpose in bringing these gifts into the world. Achievement, attendance and attitude are the beneficial byproduct of a process that ignites the creative light that resides within each, and ultimately moves the learner beyond mere knowledge and into a place of applied wisdom.

Those choice solutions that recognize and ultimately answer to the harmonic balance of the new triad for learning – the Three I’s that are Instinct, Intellect and Intuition (or body-mind-heart) – will deliver through a shared accountability model a high achiever beyond the current learning structure and into the classroom known as life itself. Only then will society in its entirety emerge as the opportune vehicle for the advancement of the human condition… and education as the purveyor of social and economic viability and sustainability into the foreseeable future for any nation founded upon certain inalienable rights expressed through an educated mind and an enlightened heart.

What are your thoughts, your views on the above? Where must we head with education in this, the 21st century, in order to ensure a more responsible, sustainable society – and for our children, provide a more relevant, meaningful and engaging learning experience?
