Developing the C's of 21st Century Learning
What skills do you envision for young learners to meet the demands of the 21st Century? As they gather information, they will think beyond the simple facts and make relevant connections. They will use critical thinking skills to solve new problems. When creating new ideas, they will think divergently. They will collaborate as team players. Finally, through listening, speaking, reading, and writing, they will communicate effectively. Learn practical strategies that build these 21st Century skills in young learners.
