If you'd asked humanity 100 years ago the same question, what would've they said?
We are not able to predict what kind of technology will be available in 10, 20 or 30 years' time, how the job market will evolve, what our cities will look like... We can only estimate and assume.
BUT we are able to foresee what kind of skills and mindsets we'll need in order to adapt to the new world.
Future Learning is not about technology, even though we use it now more than ever before. It's not about course books and worksheets either, even though educators have been using these outdated methods for decades now.
Education cannot be about knowledge and information any more. Whatever tools you decide to use, they eventually should lead to Active Experiential Holistic Learning so that children can develop core Life Skills.
And these Life Skills are nurtured in children's early years of life - through an authentic connection with the real world.
Active Experiential Holistic Learning is the KEY to Future-Oriented Education. Everything that children are to learn needs to happen in real life - not in course books, worksheets, or on screen.
The world is starting to realise that the outdated model of education, which is still in use, is no longer effective and does not bring desirable results any more. Parents and educators start to understand that passive academic-oriented learning is not enough to prepare children for the future in these uncertain times.
Parents are becoming more conscious and more demanding as to how learning is offered, and they no longer wish for their children to be overwhelmed with worksheets, course books, and academic-based learning. They expect educators to be able to use Active Experiential Holistic Learning much more often.
School Leaders look for teachers who can offer much more than lecture-based learning or pen & paper activities. They want teachers who know how to use the most effective educational approaches in their everyday practice, and who know how to make learning exciting, meaningful, and leaving long-lasting results.
Very few educators on a global scale can effectively implement Active Experiential Holistic Learning on a daily basis. This means that when you master it, you will join the group of highly skilled and very sought-after Educators of the Future.
Once you master Active Experiential Holistic Learning, you will feel very confident about planning, delivering, and evaluating truly engaging learning experiences that are fully aligned with your national curriculum and the goals of Future-Oriented Education.
Even though many teachers are still under the spell that technology is the future of learning, world's top educators know it's not true. They realise that it's not technology that teachers need to master. Educators of the Future need to be able to use technology as well as any other tool to offer ACTIVE EXPERIENTIAL HOLISTIC LEARNING.
Active Learning is not yet another trend. It's the ever-green and one of the most powerful educational approaches that will never go out of fashion. And because it's based on the Universal Laws of Natural Learning, it always accelerates children's learning - and this will never change. So, once you master Active Experiential Holistic Learning, you can be sure that your skills will stay with you forever, and that you will be able to offer high quality education regardless of times and current trends.

Our Story
We’ve always believed that the role of an educator is to empower every child, to celebrate them for their gifts and uniqueness, to help them discover their talents and to offer them the most enabling environments to learn to their full potential. However, we grew up in Eastern Europe where discipline, labels and outdated teaching approaches were our reality and this left it's mark on our lives and self-image. Our natural talents were considered a "burden" and we grew up believing we were doomed to fail. This is the very reason we promised ourselves to make a real change in the way early years education is offered to all children around the world.
When we started our teaching career we knew we were able to work completely differently to 98% of other teachers - because we could see the world through the eyes of the child.
We had already been working along the principles of Personalised and Experiential Learning, but we constantly met people telling us that it was not possible to achieve any results without structured teaching, without rigid frameworks, discipline, testing and the same uniform goals for all children. We knew it wasn't true!
They would tell us we were dreamers.
One September night we made a bold decision that changed our lives forever. We left our country and decided to learn from the best. Cut the story short, we owned and managed one of the most challenging business - our own multilingual early childhood education provision.
And we did this in one of the most effective and at the same time the most demanding countries in the world - the United Kingdom - where a mistake can cost you losing your business, and where an unexpected inspection may appear at your setting at any time.
Our skills and insights were recognised and we were invited to work with prestigious educational institutions to deliver training to other early years education providers, and to inspect their provision to make sure they met the requirements of the British National Standards - the EYFS.
We were even featured in the Guardian as the ones who can potentially introduce major changes in education in the UK.
The Secret Ingredient
After all these years we can confidently say that we know the secret of the world class Early Years provision - the one that can successfully nurture children’s natural leadership mindset and offer full potential learning.
The most successful settings are doing certain things the same way. They follow exactly the same procedures, they have the same systems in place, they share the same values.
We’ve put our experience and knowledge together, we've boiled it down, and we’ve created a series of powerful teacher training programs that incorporate all key ingredients that guarantee the learning processes are highly personalised for every child, and that each child is celebrated for their uniqueness and that teachers work according to the most effective approaches that ever existed. This in turn serves as a very strong foundation for nurturing children’s natural Leadership Mindset.
When you join ACTIVE LEARNING BOOSTER ™ we will show you how to implement the most advanced and the most effective educational approaches that ever existed in the history of Education!
Our cutting-edge ACTIVE LEARNING BOOSTER ™ Training Program has been designed for Early Childhood Education & Care providers (such as preschools, play schools, nurseries, kindergartens, play & learning centres, day cares), After-School Clubs, Out-of-School Centres, and Primary Schools. In particular, we are addressing all ambitious educators, thought leaders and visionaries who want to make a long-term and positive impact on children's lives, who are deeply interested in children's well-being, who wish to offer world class Education, and who aspire to join the World's Top Educators.
The entire training content of ACTIVE LEARNING BOOSTER ™ is delivered as pre-recorded video training lessons that are uploaded on this platform, and which you can watch from anywhere in the world (providing you have access to the Internet). All training content is also fully mobile-optimised.
ACTIVE LEARNING BOOSTER ™ is curriculum independent, and at the same time all-curriculum-friendly. In fact, the entire training content goes beyond any curriculum framework - it's based on methodology of working with young children, and on the principles of Positive Pedagogy. So, whatever Curriculum Framework you follow, our training program will complement it and elevate your provision to the next level.
All training content has been fully aligned with your daily professional duties, so no extra workload will be needed to complete the program. You will be able to apply all tools and strategies that you learn immediately. The entire ACTIVE LEARNING BOOSTER ™ program is optimised for 3 months - this will give you enough time for implementation and integration of the training content. Each training session is based on a micro learning mode - your time commitment will be 10-15 minutes per session only. However, since the training content consists of hands-on tasks and experiential projects to carry out as part of your everyday duties, the actual time of full implementation within your setting will vary.
ACTIVE LEARNING BOOSTER ™ has been designed to be completed within 3 months. This is to make sure you follow the training process as we have designed it, and not to prolong it too much. However, since we know that educators are very busy people, we've decided to extend your access to our training content, with no extra charge. So now you will have one full year to complete this program - at your own pace, in your own time!
ACTIVE LEARNING BOOSTER ™ is an online self-paced training program that can be completed by individual teachers on their own. However, if your school leaders would like to get access to the training content for all teaching staff, we offer group discounts. To discuss the details, please contact us on support @ naturalbornleaders.org
The core training content of ACTIVE LEARNING BOOSTER ™ will most likely stay as it is now (with minor amendments here and there). For those who wish to acquire more in-depth knowledge and experience, we are creating other training programs that will focus on all aspects of early childhood education & care, offer full transformation of early years provision, and equip teachers with the most effective educational approaches in the industry. Visit us frequently for more details.
ACITVE LEARNING BOOSTER ™ will make you completely tool-independent and self-reliant. This means no special investment in educational resources will be required to complete the program. In fact, we are going to share how you can use whatever is available locally, how to work with simple materials and resources, and how to create them on your own without having to invest and rely on external tools. We'll also advise you what resources are worth buying so that your investment is effective.
We are always excited to partner with ambitious and passionate educators who are ready and willing to make a change to empower other teachers and children in their region. Please contact us on support @ naturalbornleaders.org to enquire about possible options for collaboration.
