What it means to educate with PASSION, and the importance of INNOVATIVE THINKING in the modern era: WITH JENNIFER MCKINNEY | Part 2

First and Foremost I would like to thank Alex Ray @ "ARay's Photography & Designs" for the amazing designs! I look forward to working with him more in the future as this podcast continues to grow.

Join me as I introduce three year principal for Hazel Green High, Current principal of the Madison Virtual Academy, EDD Candidate, and dearest friend, Ms. Jennifer McKinney.

In the second part of this two part journey,  In support of the findings about the truth of children who are labeled early on as "gifted" in  Mr. Adam Grant's book  "Originals. How Non-Conformists Move the World."  we SQUASH the insane theory that being labeled as a "gifted," child with natural success early on leads to a successful career.

Ms. McKinney discusses TRUE determining factors that indicates a students success. She also puts into perspective how preposterous our system has labeled the intelligence level of children based off of their success on a very fixed, forced, and limited curriculum. 

Lastly, she backs up her insights by sharing solutions she has implemented to prove that any student can become labeled as "intelligent" and "Successful." Many of her methods included breaking the stigmas the system has placed on children and watching them subconsciously reach new heights when their focus is on themselves and their abilities as opposed to the artificial determining factors that have been created (Like standardized tests) . 

It was an absolute pleasure to interview Ms. McKinney and I look forward to seeing her impact grow as she continues to lead by example!!!!!

 

ENJOY :D
