What does mean for education?
Skills
“Students will, of course, continue to learn the timeless core subjects like
math and science that are critical to their success. But we will also add
new topics including global awareness and life skills to the curriculum.
And we will use teaching methods that foster creativity and innovation,
critical thinking and problem solving, communication and
collaboration, media literacy, leadership and productivity, cultural
awareness, adaptability and accountability*.”
*Italics are my emphasis
