Entrepreneurship At The Core of Private School Programming

According to the U.S. Department of Labor, 65% of today's grade school kids will end up in a job that hasn't been invented yet. Ed Glassman is Executive Director of Springside Chestnut Hill Academy's Sands Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership where they have developed a program that takes on this paradigm and "embodies a bold and innovative vision that challenges the constraints of traditional education, preparing students to change the world through an entrepreneurial mindset—a mindset of curiosity and courageous creativity." The Sands Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership at SCH strives to develop students who will shape this uncertain future. In this episode of The Sparkcast, Ed talks about the program's goals, its workings, and why it's unique among the many independent school K-12 programs that teach innovation and problem solving. Ed holds a masters degree from The University of Pennsylvania in Education Entrepreneurship and believes that the entrepreneurial mindset—one of resilience, resourcefulness, and innovative problem solving—is a powerful framework for education.
