"Leadership and responsibility" encompasses some crucial life skills for our students. I see the benefits of this skill particularly in cooperative learning situations. Some students are able to blend in with a variety of personalities and adapt, while others do not have that ability yet.
\n
\nAnother crucial aspect of this skill is "demonstrating integrity and ethical behavior". This is a skill that is not only crucial for the success of the student - but also for the success of our society. Knowing the difference between right and wrong, while it seems easy, is a missing piece for many of our students.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]},{"id":"2732420","dateCreated":"1202760913","smartDate":"Feb 11, 2008","userCreated":{"username":"cnunnery","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/cnunnery","imageUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"},"monitored":false,"locked":false,"links":{"self":"https:\/\/teacherdolphins.wikispaces.com\/share\/view\/2732420"},"dateDigested":1531976779,"startDate":null,"sharedType":"discussion","title":"21st century skills article","description":"One of the most important things that I think was discusswed in the article is in the "Core Subjects and 21st Century themes" section. I think this section concisely identified some major problems in society that don't neccesarily apply to many of us, but most certainly do apply to our students and their families.
\n
\nUnder "Financial Literacy" it states that making "appropriate personal economic choices" is important. In the past this was probably a skill that was kind of "passed down" from parents to their children. Unfortunately, sometimes otherwise intelligent people don't model sound financial literacy for their children, even though it is so important and impacts so many people.
\n
\nI also thought the "Civic Literacy" Section listed some social responsibilities that I have attempted to instill in my students through Social Studies. It mentioned staying informed and understanding governmental process. It also used the word "obligation" in reference to citizenship. I would like to teach my students to see that a right like voting is a serious obligation and that part of their responsibility is to make an informed decision when they vote.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[{"id":"2733074","body":"I like you point about the "Financial Literacy".

People use credit as if it is no big deal. They don't plan for the long-term. And even some very bright people can get themselves into a financial hardship.
\nHow do we as teachers, get "appropriate personal economic choices" into our students heads, while at home they are seeing inappropriate choices?","dateCreated":"1202763210","smartDate":"Feb 11, 2008","userCreated":{"username":"SierraRichmond","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/SierraRichmond","imageUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/pic\/1272481986\/SierraRichmond-lg.jpg"}},{"id":"2733226","body":"Sierra makes a great point.

Just yesterday Lillian and I were going to the mall. As we passed a house being built, I asked her how much she thought this new house cost to build or how much she thought it would sell for. Her responce was, about $3,000. When I told her that it was more like $150,000 I thought she was going to pass out. She said that this wasn't even a very big house! This led to the cost of wood, windows, labor and all those things that are needed for a new home. SHe was shocked! Young adults today do not realize the cost of many things.
\n
\nWe have created a society (well, not us specifically) that does not always teach the younger generations understand the cost of living and the value of money. Our discussion led to cars and how so many people in today's society spend beyond their means. I could see that she was catching on to my point when she mentioned that I didn't always have the newest car and how I am not one to rush to the mall to get the newest, most popular gadget. (Let's face it, our family just got a "real" computer and internet since Christmas!!) Hopefully, if nothing else came from our discussion, she is beginning to learn that cars and houses are not nearly as easy to come by as she thought. She immediately said, "I need to do a better job at saving my money so that I can buy my own car when I am ready."
\n
\nSo many of our children in our classes do not have this type of conversations with adults and they will fall in to the trap of credit card debt and serious money issues even before they have a chance to get their feet on the ground!! In my class I am always having these conversations with my students when someone begins to brag about the newest thing they have been given. It amazes me how many of our lower SES students have the televisions, DVD's, Game Cubes,.... in their own bedrooms! So why do we seem to have so many ADHD kids these days?

It is probably never to soon to teach this to our children, both in and out of the classroom. I remember my dad sitting me down before I moved into my first apartment to make out a budget. I think we put $20 for a week of food and $5 for a week of gas. It was the best thing he ever did for me!
\n
\nThe other day Calvin and I went out to get some new school supplies for him (including a backpack to replace the one he has had since the 5th grade-those things are not cheap!). After our purchases I mentioned to him that the total was about one day of pay for me. It is a little sobering that you can "spend" eight hours of work in about 30 minutes.
\n
\nSome of these numbers in dollars can be hard for kids to understand. If I told Calvin that a house was $200,000 I'm not sure that he would really understand what that means. Yes, it sounds like a lot of money, but how much can you make in a day? What does that translate into in lawn mowing or babysitting jobs?

Obviously, the indicator of Social and Cross-Cultural Skills is extremely relevant to our increasingly globalized society. Even though our school system is located in an area of the state that attracts national and international professionals, I continue to be struck by how sheltered our kids (and parents!) are and how underexposed they are to diverse cultures. Our kids MUST learn to work with people who are completely different than them. I think we're doing a pretty good job with teaching multiculturalism but I also think we can do better.
\n
\nI also think that Leadership and Responsibility is very important. We become so focused on math and reading achievement that interpersonal skills fall by the wayside. Of course, kids spending 5 hours in front of a screen doesn't help this either. It goes without saying that interpersonal skills will be useful in dealing with people of different cultures\/nationalities. "Demonstrating integrity and ethical behavior" and "Acting responsibly with the interests of the larger community in mind" are also two crucial components. Our country's international image has been severely damaged and in order for our kids to be world leaders in the future, they must be taught and learn to be proponents of and advocates for ethical, responsible behavior that benefits the larger society instead of the individual.

How can we possibly teach them every minute piece of information when info is increasing so quickly? Won't we feel more successful when students can tell us how to access information to answer their own questions (or career-directed questions) versus regurgitating a memorized fact that we have drilled in them?

We as adults and as professionals didn't just learn everything that we needed to know by sitting in a classroom. We didn't just graduate and then stop learning. I mean, what is the whole reason we have all signed up for this class? I think it is important to show them how the whole learning process works in the real world for the very people they look up to. We also need to model that the learning and initiative doesn't stop once you are done with school or once you don't have someone telling you what to do (a teacher or a parent). It seems to me that the two most important skills (they seem to go hand in hand) would be the initiative and the knowledge of how to get there.

The Efland Cheeks site usually has some great stuff.","dateCreated":"1203530020","smartDate":"Feb 20, 2008","userCreated":{"username":"JWorkman","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/JWorkman","imageUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/pic\/1204504714\/JWorkman-lg.jpg"}},{"id":"3168595","body":"I found this through my online classes.

\nI've found some videos on YouTube, which we can't view from school. So I go home download them form YouTube, then upload them to TeacherTube. If anyone finds something on YouTube and would like to access it from school let me know.

\nI also love www.unitedstreaming.com I know someone else mentioned it. I have found lots of great resources on there. I would like to save videos to the MySchool folder so I could share with others.

\nI have found the kids get so excited when I bring the computers or videos into the classroom.","dateCreated":"1208401178","smartDate":"Apr 16, 2008","userCreated":{"username":"SierraRichmond","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/SierraRichmond","imageUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/pic\/1272481986\/SierraRichmond-lg.jpg"}}],"more":0}]}],"more":false},"comments":[]},"http":{"code":200,"status":"OK"},"redirectUrl":null,"javascript":null,"notices":{"warning":[],"error":[],"info":[],"success":[]}}
