Watch Dr. Brian Daly, head of the psychology department at Drexel University, shares the new science of human potential behind My Unique Genius.
IT'S NOT IF YOU'RE SMART,
BUT HOW YOU'RE SMART.
For far too long, there has been one standard definition of intelligence; a deeply embedded rubric that permeates society, first in education (public & private schools, higher ed) and then throughout adulthood. It has become so deeply ingrained that we no longer question its validity or efficacy… until now.
From building a school from scratch (www.forge.school), we’ve come to realize that the fundamental question in education isn’t “if you’re smart”; but, “how you’re smart.”
Every day, we are fortunate to see that there are a myriad of ways that kids are smart. From dexterity to imagination, observation to design, each of us possesses a set of gifts that define our unique “talent print.”
So, the task becomes not one of standardization, where the goal is for every individual to attain a level of proficiency across the same domains. Instead, the objective is personalization where the ambition is to tap into and fully develop one’s potential — that is unique, special and differentiated from everyone else.
Exploration is the key to unlocking possibility. Teens can deeply explore Career Stories from diverse people in varied careers — both on our web site and our YouTube Channel.
The Life Builder Lab™ which includes a digital platform for career learning and exploration, is available for schools. Packed with activities for self-discovery, career exploration, and skills building, the Lab also includes a powerful portfolio so teens can begin writing their own life story.
The Life Builder Journal is available now for classrooms and teens on their own. Filled with 10 chapters of activities for self-discovery, career exploration, and skills building, the Journal also includes a powerful portfolio so teens can begin writing their own life story.
The Catalyst Curriculum includes everything educators need to bring The Life Builder Lab™ or The Life Builder Journal to life in the classroom.
