John Mark Parten (born January 07, 1965) started as an Educator in 1990 and is known for teaching Science. In 2015, he founded PrototypeUniversity.com, where he directs students on how changing their “paradigm” (or the way they view the world around them), can change the way they “perceive” the world. This view changes the very way you think, and in turn, changes the way you operate in society. Prototype University is an Educational Platform designed to teach students how, working as an intern, can lead to Entrepreneurship and Freelancing, where they do not look for a JOB, but instead create a JOB for themselves. Prototype University does not offer “certified programs”. Instead, it trains students on the skills required for a specific need. This does not negate “Schooling”. It provides the necessary Skill Sets required to do a job. Prototype University can work in conjunction with the public-school system by providing students training in specific skills. Schools cannot teach reading to high school students when they are constrained to an unwavering “schedule”. Students have to be pulled out of the classroom and taught the specific skills they have deficiencies in. “The Public-School System is broken, Mr. Parten explains, ‘We all know this. A student cannot be successful in a math class when they cannot read the material. We are setting them up for a life of failure and they know it. That is why they give up!” As Chancellor of Prototype University, he directs teams of students through a process to “Fund” individual projects; which in turn, creates employment. He is in the process of publishing educational material based on his dissertations. Once published, he becomes an “Authority” in each field. When he received his Master’s in Special Education, he realized that each and every student deserves a “Specialized Education”. You can read about his philosophy in his dissertation entitled “An Emancipated Education”.
