Communication skills are the abilities you use when giving
and receiving different kinds of information. Some examples
include communicating new ideas, feelings or even an update
on your project. Communication skills involve listening,
speaking, observing and empathizing. It is also helpful to
understand the differences in how to communicate through
face-to-face interactions, phone conversations and digital
communications like email and social media.
Skills in communication are important in all areas of life.
Students must learn to articulate ideas clearly, both in oral
and written forms. They must learn to listen and to
understand the variety and depth of all ideas they come
across. Communication skills are especially important in our
modern digital and multicultural age. Barriers between
languages and across cultures and other forms of media
demand an evolution in the way we experience and deal with
contexts.

Critical thinking is the ability to think
clearly and rationally, understanding the
logical connection between ideas.
the core skills.
Critical thinking and problem solving skills are critical for
developing the habits of mind that most promote student success.
These skills include inductive and deductive reasoning, systems
thinking, the ability to evaluate claims, to synthesize and analyze
data, to draw conclusions based on that analysis and synthesis,
and to reflect critically on what they learn. Critical thinking
prepares students not only to solve complex problems but also to
ask critical questions which promote insight and guide inquiry.

work co-operatively with other individuals and

others in order to assist own team or project to

The importance of collaboration has increased dramatically over
the past several years. The traditional values it instills, such as
teamwork, flexibility, respect, and accountability, remain
necessary, but that is no longer the end of the matter. Students no
longer live and work in an arena where their efforts are solely their
own. New technologies and new media are designed around
cooperative and social environments. The Internet allows
complete strangers across the world to work through the same
material at the same time, and to rely on each other. Collaboration
teaches what to trust, how to trust, and how to use contemporary
means to deal with the unknown.
the core skills.
Creative thinking is the ability to look at things
differently, and find new ways of solving
problems.
the core skills.
Creativity is the spine of innovation. The 21st century
workplace demands an adaptability of mind that requires
inventiveness as well as evaluation. Building a teaching
environment that facilitates creativity encourages students
to broaden their perspectives, to critique what they see
around them and evaluate it, and to move beyond their
preconceptions of the world and learn to shape the world
around them.
All schools have the responsibility to produce
students that are work-ready and college-ready.
Beyond the content, students need to be fluent in
the 21st century skills that they need after
graduating from high school. Thus schools must be
deliberate in teaching these skills instead of relying
on them to acquire the skills on their own.
