Every 21st century skills implementation requires the development of core academic subject knowledge and understanding among all students. Those who can think critically and communicate effectively must build on a base of core academic subject knowledge.
Within the context of core knowledge instruction, students must also learn the essential skills for success in today’s world, such as critical thinking, problem solving, communication and collaboration.

Coaching – Why? (Getting Motivated) Key questions for the supervisor/coach
Whose job is it to develop employees? Have I co-created IDPs (individual development
plans) for each of my employees? How can HR help me to be a better coach? Do I have to coach or can someone coach for me? What would coaching the 4 Cs do for me?

Coaching – How? Key question for the supervisor: how should I
coach the 4 Cs? Answer: it depends OJT (on-the-job training) – they’re not competent
in one or more of the 4 Cs Support – they’re not confident in the 4 Cs Motivation – they’re not trying to apply the 4 Cs Alignment – they occasionally fall short in one or
more of the 4 Cs Realignment – they consistently fall short in one
