Virginia Beach City Public Schools and HBA, 2015
Today’s students are learning to be critical thinkers and creative innovators. They are moving beyond being consumers of information and are becoming creators of content. They are collaborating in teams and leveraging their collective intelligence to become effective problem solvers in service of our community, and they are honing their communication skills to become both respectful teammates and our future leaders.
You know these learning activities as the 5 C’s of 21st Century Skills, and having the right type of learning environments, coupled with passionate and heroic teaching, will enable our young people to acquire and develop these skills into lifelong “habits of the mind”.
