The Partnership for 21st Century Skills identified nine key areas that educators need to focus on to prepare children for the 21st Century. The skills are:
  • Interpersonal and Collaborative Skills
  • Problem Identification, Formulation, and Solution
  • Creativity and Intellectual Curiosity
  • Self Direction
  • Accountability and Adaptability
  • Social Responsibility
  • Information and Media Literacy
  • Global Awareness and Connectivity
  • Communication Skills
  • Critical Thinking and Systems Thinking

At North Forest Pines Elementary we strive to incorporate all of these skills into our lessons throughout the school year.  We invite you to join us in preparing our children for the future where they can be successful in an ever changing and more complex society.
