Editor's Notes
In this learning session, we will meet the teachers and the learners of the 21st century and we will identify the skills they are expected to have.
Effective Communication Skills
Information, Media, and Technology Skills
Learning and Innovation Skills (for Higher Education and Middle Level Skills Development)
Life and Career Skills (for Entrepreneurship and Employment)
Overall, the K to 12 program is a necessity given the need to:
Enhance the curriculum to improve mastery of basic competencies,
Ensure seamlessness of primary, secondary, and post-secondary education,
Improve teaching and learning outcomes through the use of enhanced pedagogies – such as spiral progression in Science and Math – and the rationalization of the medium of instruction in our schools, especially for Kindergarten and the early primary levels, and
Expand job opportunities for both graduates and school leavers alike by reducing the mismatch between acquired skills and available jobs, and provide a stronger foundation for post-secondary education and the world of work.
We want to produce holistically developed graduates with 21st century skills. We want to nurture lifelong learners who are better prepared for the rigours of post-secondary education and the world of work.
When it all goes wrong in the middle of a class, when the technologies fail, the show must go on.
The 21st Century teacher is an adaptor. Harnessed as we are to an assessment focused education model the 21st Century Educator must be able to adapt the curriculum and the requirements to teach to the curriculum in imaginative ways.They must also be able to adapt software and hardware designed for a business model into tools utilisable by a variety of age groups and abilities.They must also be able to adapt to a dynamic teaching experience. When it all goes wrong in the middle of a class, when the technologies fail, the show must go on.As an educator, we must understand and apply different learning styles. we must be able to adapt our teaching style to be inclusive of different modes of learning.
The learning pyramid shows that the highest retention of knowledge comes from teaching others. Trust your students.
