What Kind of Mental Models Would You Start Teaching?

Sally Kohn: I want to introduce our listeners to your worldview and mental toolkit. She asks which concepts or mental models would you start teaching the child as a matter of priority for his or her intellectual development, creativity and survival in the world? Kohn: School should really be the exception in education, not the rule of education. The rule of education should be experiential. If we want innovators, we have to build a motivational structure that will allow them to feel good about accomplishing things nobody else can see the value of yet.
