Students need wellness education in PRACTICE, not in theory to apply techniques & tools IRL
mariotti did this beautifully when he founded the Network For Teaching Entrepreneurship to at-risk youth in NYC in 1987.
Not only does offer entrepreneurial training to students, educators & public school leadership but they prioritize students having real stake & equity in the game by pitching scalable opportunities that could win funding & enter the market today.
Education in theory is as good as dead.
In order to prepare students for college & careers, we need to have the ability to help students apply mental health & wellness principles outside of public education & in their social lives, now.
