Today, most people will tell you that no longer are just raw knowledge enough. I think it was the head of Google who said that no longer is class ranking and GPA a good measure of someone who will be successful in the workforce today.
The term 21st Century Skills has been used to describe this shift and these new skills
While I agree with the importance of this shift away from just raw knowledge and facts I don't like the term 21st Century Skills. We are more than half way through 2014 and we are almost two decades into the 21st century. I would rather call these skills, life skills.
What are these life skills ?
Here is my list
* Creativity
* Critical Thinking
* Communication
* Collaboration
* Innovation
* Questioning
* Risk Taking
* Learning from Mistakes
* Having a Growth Mindset
I would love to hear your thoughts on the life skills we need to instill in our students.
