The three Rs and the four Cs
WE MUST FUSE THE THREE Rs WITH THE FOUR Cs.
  • The four Cs
  • Critical thinking and problem solving
  • Communication
  • Collaboration
  • Creativity and innovation

As the three Rs serve as an umbrella for other
subjects, the four Cs do for other skills.

  • What new learning environments support their work?

Some Cautionary TalesIt 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?
13
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!
