Help Me Create an Education Revolution!

By Will Stanton | Guest writer for Wake Up World

My name’s Will Stanton and I’ve dedicated my life to changing the education system.

I have created a new education model, called the Six Dimension Model, which aims to empower children in every way imaginable and to help them become who they are. The six dimensions of my education model are Self-Discovery, Inquiry, Sustainability, Innovation, Communication, and Empathy. All six pillars are treated equally within this model and serve to provide a more holistic system than the current pyramidal structure of education — which encourages competition, conformity and standardization, while also suppressing our children’s natural creativity and critical-thinking faculties.

Here is a break-down of each of the six dimensions:

Self-Discovery focuses on helping children become who they are, and aims to nurture each child’s passions and talents so that they may reach their highest potential as creators.

Inquiry is about teaching children how to think instead of what to think, how to discern information critically, and how to conduct their own investigations to find the answers they’re looking for.

Sustainability is about reconnecting with the Earth, immersing our children in nature, teaching them real life skills, getting them to become strong and resilient people, and showing them how to look after their health and wellbeing.

Innovation is about encouraging students to think outside the box to come up with creative ideas and solutions, defying conventionality, and fostering collaboration instead of competition in the classroom.

Communication looks at children’s overall social development and literacy. It aims to teach them how to read and write effectively, how to cultivate healthy relationships, and how to manage their emotions in order to minimize conflict both internally and externally.

Empathy aims to show children the value of real human connection in their lives, by uniting students through a sense of community, encouraging acts of kindness, and adopting a holistic planetary philosophy.

I need your help!

I’m currently 3/4 of the way through writing the curriculum for the Six Dimension Model, and now I need your help to get it finished. I’m giving away a free ebook of my book, Education Revolution, to anyone who can help me find an expert in any of the following fields who is willing to volunteer to help complete the Six Dimension Model curriculum:

• Social and Emotional Learning
• Design and Technology
• Geography
• Dance
• Sex Education
• English as a Second Language (ESL)
• Quantum Physics

Once these seven areas are filled and the curriculum is complete, we can then start new schools all over the world, evolve existing schools, and give homeschooling parents everything they need to empower their children like never before.

If you can help me with any of these seven areas, or know someone who can, please email me or get in touch with me through my Facebook author page.

Here’s to bringing in the new education paradigm!
