We stand at an inflection point: the AI era is forcing us to confront a deeper crisis—not just about tools, but about intelligence itself. As Van brilliantly argues in her article, “Humanity Is Facing an Intelligence Crisis,” we weren’t taught to engage with intelligence; we were taught to exploit it.  If we accept that claim, then our curricular design must shift dramatically. Van offers a Leading Intelligence Framework for working with Machine Intelligence.

Recognizing the urgency for transformation, we established Catapult—a movement dedicated to making education relevant. Our approach transcends traditional professional development by integrating dynamic masterclasses, interactive Playbooks, live coaching sessions, and a supportive virtual community. Catapult is a catalyst for change, empowering educators to become disruptors while challenging outdated norms and fostering institutional change.

Our educational landscape transforms rapidly, demanding a fresh perspective on measuring and validating learning.

The traditional narrative about education requires immediate transformation.

In the swiftly evolving job market, traditional pathways to career success are being fundamentally reimagined.

Today, education must evolve. It needs a new measurement system that not only broadens minds but ensures learners graduate as highly sought-after, in-demand individuals. This means creating a student experience that is intentionally both relevant and purposeful. Without this dual focus, education risks becoming a time-wasting exercise for many students, leaving them disengaged, directionless, or ill-prepared for the future.
