The 3 Rs Meet the 4 Cs!

   

In this day and age, digital learning is no longer separate from the rest of the curriculum, but integrated into the instruction already in place.  You certainly know of the 3 Rs, but have you heard of the 4 Cs?  Over a decade ago, the National Education Association (NEA) established the Partnership for 21st Century Skills. Out of that grew the 4 Cs - four specific skills essential to 21st century education.

Communication: Sharing ideas clearly and effectively using multiple media and technologies and knowing how to assess their effectiveness.

Collaboration: Working together to reach a goal

Critical Thinking: Using various types of reasoning (inductive and deductive) and learning across subjects and disciplines

Creativity: Creating original ideas that demonstrate inventiveness and innovation

    

     At CBRSD, we are committed to incorporating these skills into all our instruction.
