I recently read A Guide to the Four Cs, a short and quite readable National Education Association report simplifying so-called “21st Century Skills.” Instead of an extended laundry list, the report suggests focusing on four Cs:

• Critical Thinking
• Communication
• Collaboration
• Creativity and Innovation

How does each of these show up in your curriculum? In your field studies? If you’re interested in reading the report, go to http://www.nea.org/tools/52217.htm.
