This blog is intended to be an educational resource.

A, P, C

I intend to create an educational institution which holds true to the many educational practices of the past, especially in how content is taught, however, the my overall structure rests upon the three aspects (Access, Performance, Creativity) of a knowledge society put for in this paper. Human Centric-Knowledge Society.  I came across this publishing through a friend who has done some work in international systems of which education is a sublcass.  The three fundamentals A, P, C stick out to me and are a guidline by which educational instituions can be founded.  This is not to say the process of teaching or delivering data to students and many of the traditional ways of education will be thrown out the door however, if we are to transition into the type of society mentioned in the paper, which I believe we have already begun, we must focus on today's students and tomorrows future.  By giving today's students the structure of this type of society at a young age, they will be further inclined to hit the ground running once they decide to forclose their traditional educational experience and become a full contributing member of society (When they decide what they would like to do and how they can make a positive difference in the world).  The A, P, C model can be adapted into the educational sector in all levels connecting the micro to the macro, from the classroom to the society.  I encourage you to read thw paper mentioned above and take consideration on how you can apply these principles into your daily lives, work, relationships, whatever you deem worthy. 
Part of the reason I have created this blog is to express my feelings about education as well as to inform others about the steps I am taking to do my part with what I can.  Currently, I am creating a software package (similar to the structure of microsoft office) which will incorporate all aspects of education, technology, and A, P, C into the software and applications.  I'm not a genius nor do I have 20 sets of hands and in order for this package to manifest, I must enroll others.  We have a team of three. Me, my girlfriend, and my roomate.  I say three because I would not be where I am today nor have the opportunities I do without these guys but in the realm of specific expertise and commitment to education, I stand alone at the moment.  I just finished a great book by Jim Collins called Good to Great in which he identifies a few key concepts and steps companies over the years have taken in order to attain his consideration of greatness and attain it.  The first step: Find the right people and give them the right positions.  I hope as traffic starts to come to this blog from many different channels you and I can collaborate, however in depth you would like, to do our part with what we can.
