How will you develop 21st Century Skills?


     21st century skills compromise 4 C's. These are critical thinking, collaboration, communication and creativity. These skills are essential in dealing with students, colleagues, and even in everyday life challenges. Having these skills would make one flexible and have a good outlook in life. Specifically, one is not afraid to take risk or even to make mistake because he or she believes that no matter what the consequences are, he or she takes full responsibility from his or her action.

       Developing these skills is not an easy task. It takes full cooperation, time and patience. One requires to have a positive attitude to be able to develop and enhance these skills. Through practicing and adapting these skills in our daily life activities will possibly make these skills innate in ourselves. 

     Hence, one could possibly perceive that in order to master and develop these 21st century skills, he or she should practice these skills effectively and efficiently. 

What are the 21st Century Skills that are needed to develop by the teachers?

          Teachers need to cope with the 21st century skills. These skills are needed to make the learning efficient and effective. Students nowadays tend to rely mostly on their gadgets and other technologies. Needless to say, teachers should improve their teaching skills to grapple with these kind of learners. That is why 21st century skills should be exercised by the teachers themselves.



        I think all the 21st century skills should be developed by the teachers because learning is a continuous process and it involves all of these necessary skills when teaching. In fact, all of these skills can also be used at home and at work, not just in school. 

        It is, therefore, 21st century skills play an integral role in today's generation. Without these skills, our teachers may be weak, vulnerable and not competent. We should remember that our future relies on the hands of our educators. Thus, it is highly compulsory for our teachers to manifest these skills and develop these within their inner selves.
