“Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned at school” - Albert Einstein

Schools have the difficult task of striking a balance between providing an education that stimulates and invigorates student academic pursuits while also educating students in pursuits of glowing character. Now more than ever, educators are faced with the responsibility to future proof their students by responding to the growing demand for explicit teaching of 21st century thinking skills.
