7 Survival Skills for 21st Century Learners

Today students were introduced to the 7 Survival Skills for 21st Century Learners, a set of skills that are central to our curriculum at Raroa. Click the link to find out more about these skills.

7 Survival Skills

- Critical Thinking and Problem Solving
- Collaboration Across Networks and Leading by Influence
- Curiosity and Imagination
- Agility and Adaptability
- Initiative and Entrepreneurship
- Effective Oral and Written Communication
- Accessing and Analysing Information

Students discussed and unpacked the skills by answering the questions; What is it in kid speak? What does this look like in the real world? Why is it important? What is the definition of this skill?

Lots of groups found getting their head around these skills challenging but we were impressed with their persistence and ability to communicate an understanding of the skills they worked on. By the end of the term we will be experts!
