The four “C”s
• Critical thinking and problem solving
• Communication
• Collaboration
• Creativity and innovationAs the three “R”s serve as an umbrella for other
subjects, the four “C”s do for other skills.
The three “R”s and the four “C”s
WE MUST FUSE THE THREE “R”s WITH THE FOUR “C”s.

Look For:
1. How are students working? What are they doing?
2. What tools do students have to do their work?
3. What new learning environments support their work?
Project- and Problem-Based Learning:Keys to 21st Century Learning
• To learn collaboration, work in teams.
• To learn critical thinking, take on complex problems.
• To learn oral communication, present.
• To learn written communication, write.
• To learn creativity, produce something original and useful.
• To learn technology, use technology.
• To develop citizenship, take on civic and global issues.
• To learn about careers, do internships.
• To learn content, research and do all of the above.

Some Cautionary Tales:It takes a lot more than physical design and technology to make a 21st Century School
• UK Open Learning Environments – 1970s• Massachusetts –New High Schools, mid-1990s• NW England– new Learning Centres
The big question:
Are the teachers ready to teach in the new learning environments?
Putting it all together
• Embed 21st Century Skills into Curriculum
• Do projects (PBL)
• Assess for learning through performance
• Learning spaces and environment
• Technology
• Get the teachers ready!
