Our world is becoming an incredibly small place – one where we can connect with anyone and learn anything, at the click of a button! 

How then, can we prepare our students for this ever-changing, uncertain future? By laying a solid foundation of 21st Century Skills, we can equip our learners with all they need to become lifelong learners. Once your learners have the skills of confidence, communication, collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking they will be successful learners inside and beyond the walls of your classroom.  

These 21st Century Skills handbooks will help you target specific skills implicitly and explicitly through meaningful skill-based activities and learning experiences. 

How to use these handbooks:

  • Print and use strategy or activity cards aligned with the 21st Century Skills 
  • Use student-facing activity cards, templates, worksheets, and graphic organizers in your classroom
  • Initiate conversations to encourage students to reflect on their skills
