In just a few years, today's children and teens will forge careers
that look nothing like those their parents and grandparents knew.
Even the definition of ""career"" and ""job"" are changing as more
people build their own teams to create new businesses, apps, and
services. Although these changes are well underway, most systems
lag behind. Most education systems still subscribe to the idea that
content is king. The exclusive focus on content is reflected in
what is tested and taught, and even in the toys that we offer our
children at home. Employers want to hire excellent communicators,
critical thinkers, and innovators - in short, they want brilliant
people. But they are often disappointed. So what can we do, as
parents, to help our children be brilliant and successful? Stories
about the failures of our educational systems abound, but most of
them stop after pointing out the problems. Becoming Brilliant goes
beyond complaining to offer solutions that parents can apply right
now. Authors Roberta Michnick Golinkoff and Kathy Hirsh-Pasek
provide a science-based framework for how we should be educating
children in and outside school. Parents become agents of change for
children's success when they nurture six critical skills.
Constructed from the latest scientific evidence and presented in an
accessible way rich with examples, this book introduces the 6Cs -
collaboration, communication, content, critical thinking, creative
innovation, and confidence - along with tips to optimise children's
development in each area. Taken together, these are the skills that
will make up the straight-A report card for success in the 21st
century.
