It is important to teach 21st century skills because the world is constantly changing and developing. It is incredibly important for our students to be able to think critically, communicate, collaborate and work efficiently and effectively with others, and be creative in an ever changing career field. According to the video Did You Know 2021 technical information is doubling every two years and students need to be able to adapt in order to be successful in their chosen career field. Critical thinking is very important as it is important to be able to analyze and interpret information in order to make crucial decisions and solve problems. Communication is essential to being able to work with others and to express how someone is feeling at any given time. A student must be able to communicate and listen well to their peers. Collaboration is just as important because sometimes you need to be able to work well with others in order to finish a job or a project. Students need to be able to use creativity to brainstorm ideas, finish tasks, and listen to their peers ideas. These four skills help to promote higher thinking.
