“The principle goal of education in the schools should be creating men and women who are capable of doing new things, not simply repeating what other generations have done; men and women who are creative, inventive and discovers, who can verify, and not accept, everything they are offered.’ “Jean Piaget”. Jean Piaget was a swiss philosopher. He was born August 9, 1896 in Neuchatel, Switzerland. He studied child thinking and his parents were Rebecca Jackson and Arthur Piaget.
In 1923, he married Valentine Châtenay; the couple had three children, who Piaget did studied from infancy. From 1925 to 1929 Piaget was professor of psychology, sociology, and the philosophy of science at the University of Neuchatel In 1929, Jean Piaget accepted the post of Director of the International Bureau of Education and remained the head of this international organization until 1968. Every year, he drafted his "Director's Speeches" for the IBE Council and for the International Conference on Public Education in which he explicitly addressed his educational credo.When Jean was ten years old, he had a fascination with mullets. He would always go to a muesueum and be fascinated for hours at a time. During around this time in his early life he wrote a scientific paper on albino sparrow while attending Latin Neuchatel High School. When Jean was a teen, his papers on mollusks were being published.

In 1964, Piaget was invited to serve as chief consultant at two conferences at Cornell University (March 11–13) and University of California, Berkeley (March 16–18). The conferences addressed the relationship of cognitive studies and curriculum development and strived to conceive implications of recent investigations of children's cognitive development for curricula.[Jean’s Child Development theory realates to how parents and teachers teach children these days.
