Welcome to the third Releasing the Genius Magazine.
As I write this, the world has been shaken with the
Coronavirus. The intense reaction first in China,
then across the globe to contain the virus, has been
unprecedented. The world is working together to contain
the spread, to find a vaccine, and to mitigate fear. Our
children will learn from how we react to this situation
and replicate our behaviours. It is a time for all of us to
demonstrate courage, wisdom, and compassion so that
our future leaders will know what it looks like and be
able to demonstrate courage, wisdom, and compassion
themselves, even in very scary situations.
In this issue, the focus is on developing children beyond
being book smart. Dr. Travis Bradberry describes
his eight ways to mold children into leaders, and
David Emerald discusses the importance of parental
engagement in education. Dr. Pornpun Waitayangkoon
is an incredible woman who I met last year. She was the
key person to pull together all the STEAM programs
for Thailand. In this edition, we have a transcript of an
interview I had with her while in Thailand last summer.
Finally, for students to understand the significance of the
United Nations Charter, UNACTO has described several
of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals that were set
by the UN Charter to be achieved by 2030.
I sincerely hope that you find this magazine helpful.
