Draftsman to Learning




Creativity follows mastery, so mastery of skills is the first priority for young talent.                                                                                                                                      - Benjamin Bloom

Benjamin Bloom was a U.S. psychiatrist who made several significant contributions to education, mastery learning, and talent development. Born in 1913 in Lansford, Pennsylvania, he exhibited a passion for reading and research from an early age. Bloom attended Pennsylvania State University and earned a bachelor’s degree and a master's degree, then he became a member of the University of Chicago’s Board of Examinations in 1940. He also served internationally as an educational adviser, working with Israel, India and several other nations. The Ford Foundation sent him to India in 1957 where he ran workshops on educational evaluation. 


If you're not sure where you are going, you're liable to end up some place else.                                                                                        Robert F Mager
