With the focus on SMART goals where we look at data and measurable growth in education, we have turned our back on some of the hard to measure skills that we once taught regularly. As a result, students are not learning the valuable 21st century skills that will allow them to be successful later in life. Skills such as public speaking, working in groups, leadership, creativity, critical thinking, and adaptability. How valuable are these skills though in the work place? Would these not serve students better in preparing them for later in life? If so, we should be purposefully teaching 21st century skills in our classrooms. This presentation talks about this very idea.
