Teaching through the lens of the "Four Cs"—critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity—will help us and our students stay essential in an evolving world of work.
Unlike traditional workforce development, however, the four Cs can't wait until middle or high school.
The 21st century learning skills are often called the 4 C's: critical thinking, creative thinking, communicating, and collaborating.
These skills help students learn, and so they are vital to success in school and beyond.
