21st Century Learning and Workforce Readiness

A rapidly changing world  
As technology changes at a mind bogglingly pace, students are expected to be able to keep up with their peers world wide. These 21st century skills, and more specifically the 4 C's, seek to address how to build these skills with our students. 

These are embedded into my action research and my daily lessons. 

​My action research had each one of these in mind when I designed it. I wanted students to show application of all of these vital skills through their work. Just a few examples: ​

• ​Students reviewing other student work and offering suggestions (critical thinking, communication, and creativity) 
• Students sharing documents (collaboration) 
• I also am mindful of trying my best to apply these in my own daily practice. If someone were to observe my lessons, I hope that they would see evidence of students being given the opportunity to work on each one.
