  • We polled 70,000 kids in fifth through 12th grade and found that students who are engaged, who are on the thriving end of the wellbeing scale, and who are hopeful are approximately four times more likely to qualify as financially literate than disengaged, suffering, or discouraged students.
  • A Gallup study showed that 77% of students in grades five through 12 said that they want to be their own boss, and 45% plan to start their own business. When we asked the same group if they believed they would "invent something that changes the world," 42% said "yes."
  • When Gallup-HOPE asked these kids if they were currently interning with a local business, 5% said "yes." So there are about 23 million kids in an entrepreneurial state of mind, but 95% of them aren't getting the attention they need to become entrepreneurs. However, our research also shows that if we can move that 5% up to 25%, we can change the world.

  • One more key point: 30 years of Gallup data show that when people have jobs that fit their talents and when they are engaged in their work, they are much, much happier. They are also more productive, healthier, and more economically profitable. If we give talented kids what they need to launch themselves as entrepreneurs and then show them how to be engaged and what their strengths are, we can guarantee them a happier, better life.

  • Typically they come to see buildings, spaces and furniture. They leave seeing the possibility for reconstructing their own learning spaces, pedagogy, teams and thinking.
  • I am witnessing teachers experiencing a new role – no longer the managers of behavior, but now the creative directors of curriculum delivery.
  • Someone who can sit down with a child and guide them in the applied use of a mobile device for learning and employment, provisioned with wireless Internet access, and at the right time of confidence and relational development, gift them with that device, remaining as their mentor and coach.

  • Artificial disciplinary boundaries were drawn, and research was put in silos that grew ever narrower. Therefore, you have scientists who study mice. You have scientists who study yeast. Institutional boundaries and funding incentives often discourage, rather than encourage people in different fields to collaborate. 
  • The interdisciplinary approach both to research and learning is starting to gain favor again because people are starting to recognize the dysfunction that is often apparent in large research institutions, but also because the small and nimble research labs are proving they have a method for speeding the pace and reducing the cost of discovery.

  • knew that our buildings needed to move towards places where students learned to experiment and imagine INSTEAD of remaining places where students spend their days listening and memorizing.
  • Go and ask any high schooler taking AP classes how much "designing and creating" they do before their final exams.  Chances are, you'll hear a WHOLE lot more about the "memorizing and cramming."
  • If you REALLY want risk-taking teachers who spend their days showing kids how to design and create, then start DEMANDING that your elected officials -- who are the real power players in conversations about what's happening in our classrooms -- rethink what we're holding schools accountable for.
