Hi there,
I’m Dr. Jeff Daniel
Background
Our Core Values
Our Mission
As the founder of DIST in 2018, I started with the motivation that every student deserves a great education! After years of working in the educational sector as a teacher across many different age groups, I found that our current educational system is inadequate in developing the student as a whole. Many educational institutions focus on boring tests and assignments that students parrot back the answers without critical thinking. If the student has to answer the question from another perspective then the student is stuck. This should not be! The student should know the material so well that they would not be fooled with a trick question. For our students, I envision three things that we need to create in a student. First, there is desire. The student needs to have a desire to learn and improve themselves otherwise acquiring information without any passion for it is completely useless. Second, the student needs to acquire the proper knowledge. This can be done through the use of hands-on learning, auditory techniques, visual technology, and the integration of practical skills from the material covered. Finally, the student should commit to being a lifelong learner. A student’s learning should not stop at the classroom but should be continued throughout their life as they encounter problems that they will be forced to solve.
DIST uses online educational platforms and resources to enrich the lives of students.
Every student is important and will impact the world in some way.
We must prepare them to reach their full potential by challenging them academically.
1. To use education for enrichment.
2. Develop critical thinking and analytic skills.
3. Cultivate students to be lifelong learners.
