Those 21st Century Skills

As we prepare to completely transform the school, we should begin to review the 21st Century Skills that our students will need to compete in the new global economy. Many, if not all, of these skills are the same skills that we already teach, just repackaged to have more sophisticated sounding names. You may want to visit http://www.21stcenturyskills.org/ to get some additional background and information about these skills and this movement.

GREETINGS!!

We are about to embark on an exciting time for ourselves individually and as a school. It will not be long before we join the 21st Century. The skills that we will enhance and expand within ourselves will translate to new skills learned and enhanced in our students. Of course, as always, we will be in this journey together and we will be able to lean on each other to get us over the next set of hurdles.
