The document discusses the 5 C's that are important for 21st century learners: communication, collaboration, critical thinking, creativity, and citizenship. It provides definitions for each C, with an image to illustrate its meaning. For example, communication is defined as the sharing and understanding of ideas through various mediums. The document then questions how to apply the 5 C's in practice. It suggests using projects to demonstrate the 5 C's, with the goals of scaling these projects to more students, more schools, and beyond.
