In the coming days, I will be blogging about the 21st Century skills that I focus on with my students over the course of a school year. (Subscribe to my RSS feed on the right so you don't miss any!) I will try to explain what each skill is, how I address it in my classroom, and how I assess it. There are 32 total categories (as of today), so there will be a post dedicated to each. Also, I have created a report card that focuses exclusively on the 32 skills, so I've attached that as a PDF at the end of this post. It should be applicable to all teachers trying to run a 21st Century classroom.
I tried to create a video for many of these skills over the summer, but man they take a long time to create!!! :) Instead of creating new videos for each skill, I will include some video snippets (I'm sure that's the technical term) from interviews with my students last year. Their explanation of each skill is often better than anything I could come up with!
