The euphoric concept that everyone is special and everyone is a winner, even though no commitment and effort is made by the so called "special", creates delusive sense of victory. This leads to a dopamine addiction which everyone must get every now and then to feel good. This habit after some time, becomes a routine requirement amd sense of entitlement to get a quick appreciation without genuine effort. In the long term, this creates an army of narcissistic citizens who are used to a 'certificate of attendance'. In the long term such "baseless winning" prevents the need for grit and consistent efforts to achieve anything significant and meaningful since the mental reward system that push us to perform consistently towards a certain goal would have already received its dopamine. This is dangerous and one of the biggest inhibitor in the way of realising one's TRUE POTENTIAL. Agree?

Great to see a couple of the many amazing IUSD programs "spotlighted" in KTLA's School Spirit Spotlight segment. These programs demonstrate the powerful impact academic programs can have when you integrate academic disciplines, as in the case of Career Technical Education (CTE) and the Arts. #ctemonth #cte #WHS

Today, I had the opportunity to attend the HERGA Conference 2023, which delved into the nuances of curriculum development, assessment techniques, work-integrated learning and many topics related to higher education. While the conference's primary focus was broader, the strategies discussed resonated deeply with my experience in skill development for persons with disabilities. The innovative approaches to curriculum and the emphasis on real-world, work-integrated learning can be adapted to cater to the unique needs and potentials of individuals with disabilities. Drawing from my background and the insights from the conference, I see a path forward where these strategies can be tailored to empower and uplift persons with disabilities in their educational and professional journeys. I'm excited to take these learnings and mould them in a way that champions the cause of skill development for persons with disabilities.
