| Summary |
In just a few years, today's children and teens will forge careers that look nothing like those that were available to their parents or grandparents. While the U.S. economy becomes ever more information-driven, our system of education seems stuck on the idea that ""content is king, "" neglecting other skills that 21st century citizens sorely need. Becoming Brilliant offers solutions that parents can implement right now. Backed by the latest scientific evidence and illustrated with examples of what's being done right in schools today, this book introduces the ""6Cs"" collaboration, communication, content, critical thinking, creative innovation, and confidence along with ways parents can nurture their children s development in each area |
