The 21st website creates a thought process for all educaters to be aware of. That thought process is to get students to understand the 3 R’s reading, writing, and arithemetic as well as integrate their 4 C’s: critical thinking, creativety , collaboration, communication. I completely agree with the 4 C’s and how they will affect our students lives and how they live. Getting students to think critically individually and with groups will be a lifelong skill that could help our students be successful.
I agree that students should master all their core subjects English, reading or language arts, World languages, Arts, Mathematics, Economics, Science, Geography, History, Government and Civics. In truth most schools struggle with getting students to master the 3 R’s. This years legislation cut backs have really hurt schools ability to think into the 21st century for our students. The budget cuts do not look like they are going to end anytime soon either. Most public schools rely on funding to be able to do any sort of radical changes to the educational system, which this website is looking for.
The implications for our teachers will be that as a group we will have to integrate the 4 C’s into our curriculum our selves. The change could take some time but with hard work we, as educators, could collaborate and make this change possible.
