DEAR PARENTS,  

WELCOME TO OUR CLASSROOM  

September 4, 2020 

It is the 21st century, which calls 

for 21st century learning… take a 
look!! 

What are the four essential 21st Century skills? 

1. Critical thinking​ - Requiring a deeper understanding by asking further questions!  
2. Communication ​- ​Using different tools to enhance all forms of communication!  
3. Collaboration -​ Working together to reach our full potential as a class and individuals! 
4. Creativity​ - ​Creating our own unique and authentic ideas and bringing them forward!  

(D’addario, 2019)

How will we ensure the learning of these skills?  

Inquiry Approach - I will not be 

telling students everything they 
have to do, rather they will 
facilitate our discussions by 
engaging in the material and 
being creative themselves!!  

For further clarification, these steps were taken from this link → ​https://www.edutopia.org/discussion/10-signs-21st-century-classroom​. All information
