Foundations Matter: A Holistic Approach To Human Capital Development (Hardcover)

It has been predicted that in about 20 years from now, more than 60 percent of all the jobs as we know today will not exist. Are we, then, headed for a serious global unemployment crisis? How are we preparing future generations for these uncertain times? Are we matching our training and education objectives to these trends? What if you were to discover that the answer to this human capital development concern has all along been hiding in plain sight? What if you were to learn that every human brain is designed with genius potential waiting to be developed? We are familiar with the adage that ''A house is as strong as its foundation''. Foundations Matter takes you on a journey of discovery to explore scientific evidence that the brain is the foundation for all human development. You will learn how everything, positive or negative, in the environment around a child's developing brain impacts its future capacity to learn, acquire skills and build success. The environment we provide during early childhood development is foundational for raising generations equipped to imagine, innovate, create and solve problems. These are essential 21st Century skills. This book reviews evidence that appropriate, intentional parenting and early childhood education has life-long impact, not just on the individual but for the nation and the world at large. Research has also shown that the current trend of concentrating human capital development efforts at higher education level may be ''too little, too late''. Foundations Matter is a must read for leaders, policy makers, education planners and practitioners, as well as parents, grandparents and all interested in a prosperous future for our world. Get hold of a copy, read, discuss and enjoy this treasure trove of information and tips on raising a grounded generation to take on the challenges and opportunities of the future.
