Skills students will need - future focused learning

Developing skills for the 21st Century Learner

With digital devices and technology having such an impact on today's students and ultimately in the future of our society I  often think about what I am doing to prepare them for the future. This diagram by Jennifer Nichols goes some way to thinking about the skills that will be needed by tomorrow's adults when they are in the workforce. It allowed me to analyse what I do in my classroom to develop these skills. There are some areas where my students would be advanced in their skills and others where they would only be basic. 

In the coloured boxes I have added what my students are moving towards when developing their skills.
