Adriana Janse van Rensburg, Ph.D.
The Assessing and Teaching of 21st Century Skills (ATC21S) organization, sponsored by Cisco, Intel,
and Microsoft, commissioned a white paper to define 21st century skills (Binkley, Erstad, Herman,
Raizen, & Ripley, 2010), which proposed the following taxonomy:
§ Ways of Thinking (creativity and innovation; critical thinking, problem solving, and decision
making; learning to learn and metacognition)
§ Ways of Working (communication; collaboration and teamwork)
§ Tools for Working (information literacy; information technology and communication literacy)
§ Living in the Word (life and career; personal and social responsibility)
§ Now adjust the note values to form a motif of one measure in duration.
§ Write a second measure but use half the note values of the motif (diminution) and add rests.
