Hi, I'm Doctor Chris Jenson!
Scattered around the walls of my science classroom are random memories, ranging from photos of students, notes from cancer survivors, stethoscopes from residency, and admittedly some Notre Dame propaganda. However, within these walls reside our most important investment: the next generation.
So...are we treating that investment well? Are we preparing today's young adults for the corporate environment and public health challenges they will encounter as adults?
There is evidence that the skills of communication, critical thinking, and solution-based design are fading away somewhere in the maze of multiple choice exams and standardized assessments. I believe that we are NOT letting students practice how they will perform and work in the real world — as life typically doesn’t present problems with four alphabetized solutions to choose from. Furthermore, there seems to be growing concern regarding resilience in young adults from both then educational and corporate sector. Both of these challenges require an imperative change in how we educate America's greatest resource: ambitious youth.
I enjoy working with educators, medical professionals, and corporations across the U.S. and feel honored each time I am able to provide a meaningful presentation. Please join me in an effort to reshape young adults by providing them with the skills needed to see SOLUTIONS instead of problems.
