This session encourages teachers to think creatively, discover innovative techniques and embrace non-traditional study methods.?
This session is tailored to ignite teachers' curiosity, expand their horizons, and revolutionize the way they teach for the read then write question type.?
In this session, teachers will move out of traditional learning styles as we guide them through real-world scenarios and dynamic situational challenges.?
This session focuses on unconventional methods to teach towards composing essays and emails. To achieve different outcomes, one must take different actions.
The skills students will need in their future studies and careers are dramatically different from those required previously. Times are changing rapidly and educational institutions and teachers have a critical role to play in developing those skills in our young learners so that they are able to fulfill their potential and have bright futures ahead of them.?
These skills are referred to as future skills. There is no common consensus on how to define these skills but, broadly speaking, they can be grouped into four categories:?
Skills in this category include critical thinking, creativity, innovation, problem solving, metacognition and learning skills.
Here, we¡¯re talking about the skills of communication and collaboration.
Information literacy is an important 21st-century skill, as well as ICT literacy and citizenship, both global and local.?
The final category covers life and career skills, and is all about personal and social responsibility.?
One way you can encourage young learners to build these skills is through STEAM subjects (that¡¯s science, technology, engineering, arts and math), which will equip them with functional skills such as organizing, planning, cognitive flexibility and self-regulation.?
The four Cs refer to four important skills for young learners to master: communication, collaboration, critical thinking and creativity. These are essential, not just in an educational context, but in everyday life.?
Falling into the first two categories of future skills (ways of thinking and ways of working), these can help children build confidence and self-esteem. They also encourage healthy emotional development.??
So let¡¯s take a closer look at the theory behind them.
We usually think of communication as speaking and listening, but it¡¯s actually much broader than that. Communication encapsulates telling stories, reading, sharing ideas and experiences, body language, facial expression, eye contact and tone. Children learn to decipher the world around them by learning and practicing these skills.
Strong communication skills, developed early, are directly related to their literacy success. These skills allow children to articulate their thoughts and ideas effectively, and listen to decode meaning. Students then begin to use communication for a range of purposes, and communicate effectively in diverse environments. Furthermore, developing strong patterns of verbal and non-verbal communication also fosters self-esteem and social skills.?
Collaboration is how young children begin to build friendships with others. At first, young children will watch what others do and say, before moving on to playing together. As they get older, they become aware of other children¡¯s feelings and ideas. Friendships become motivating and they learn how to make compromises and respect each other¡¯s perspectives and skills.?
Collaboration is enhanced through group work and project-based activities, sharing time with peers. Children thrive when they feel valued by the people around them, not just adults but their peers too.?
