“Every one of us—no matter how much money we have—needs to know that there’s something about us worth giving.” – Fred Rogers. Regardless of whether Mister Rogers’ puppets, trains, and soothing voice touched your childhood personally, he was inarguably a very “good neighbor” to millions of preschool children during his nearly 40 years of public broadcasting from 1963 to 2001.

The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar. So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science! With so much material to "teach" these days, we often forget to incorporate key proven principles into our curricula — namely active recall, metacognition, spaced repetition, and interleaving practice.

Humility is not necessarily about modesty or pretending to be less than you are. In fact, people who are humble often have a high sense of self-worth; it’s just that they can recognize their own strengths and limitations. Research about humility also suggests a strong connection between being humble and being generous. For kids growing up in a media-driven world that often rewards narcissism, humility has become a way to stand up and stand out, like this valedictorian student who used a se

Photo by Steve Wheeler I've learnt a lot during my two weeks in New Zealand, where I was working with the staff of Auckland University of Technology.

Kia Ora for example, is the greeting most commonly heard.

One of my fears when writing, “ The Innovator’s Mindset “, was that I would leave something out and that it would be incomplete. I then came to grips with the idea that although the learning is shared in book form, the learning on the topic, one that I am extremely passionate about, would continue. Waiting until I figured out every single aspect of what I could write would mean that no book would ever be completed.
