Have you ever sat down to think about just what your kids are learning in school And how they are learning it? Oftentimes in school, kids are told what to think, not how to think it. Not all the time. But a lot of the time. The truth is, our educational system isn't really designed to nurture self confidence and trust in oneself. Our educators are the true heroes of our time, no doubt. But is there a better way to educate our children such that both teacher and student can learn from each other in the process? Matt Beaudreau thinks that there is. Matt is the founder of Acton Academy Placer and Acton Academy Sacramento. As a career educator, Matt has delivered TEDx talks, consulted with Universities, written books, and created programs that have helped to push education into the 21st century for teens across America. He currently hosts The Essential 11 podcast, which focuses on gaining world-class advice from prominent guests in business, media, sports, education, and entertainment. Beaudreau is also a world-renowned keynote speaker, speaking to over 250,000 people across the globe with clients ranging from Lockheed Martin and the United States Air Force to Caterpillar and Honeywell. On the show today, we talk about a new model for education, one that encourages critical thinking, goal setting - both individually and as a collective, socratic conversations, learning how to think vs what to think, character building and so much more. If you've got a child about to be in school or currently in school, you cannot afford to miss this episode. Follow us on Instagram @themomfeedpodcast Follow Matt @mattbeaudreau
