21st Century Skills

Earlier this month, the staff and I had discussion concerning 21st Century Skills. The 21st Century Skills were identified as a group of skills that are key to thriving in the today's workplace. The following is a list of some of those skills.

Collaboration

Critical Thinking

Communication

Creativity

Financial Literacy

Organization

Problem Solving

Self-Direction

Social Responsibility

Technology Fluency

While all of the skills are important in their own right, I felt it was important for our staff to focus our efforts on a select few. If you make an attempt to focus on all of them, you end up focusing on none of them. So the staff voted and narrowed it down to their top four choices. 

However, before I name the four the staff agreed upon, I am giving you the reader and stakeholder in this school a chance to submit your choices as well. Please reply to this post by identifying your top four choices. You can simply name your choices, but I would be very interested in reading the rationale for your choices as well. 

I hope to hear from many of you!
