Technology can change the nature of work faster than

people can change their skills.

The problem is compounded when a nation’s educational system

grows out of touch with job market trends.

The dilemma of schools:The skills that are easiest to teach and test are also the ones that are easiest to digitize, automate and outsource

The challenge for schools:Identify and teach the skills needed to support job market trends: Requires critical thinking, communication, collaboration, creativity

changes in job market

What are the implications for educating gifted students?

…a profound gap…

between the knowledge and skills students learn in school…

…and the skills needed in the global workplace.

Today’s school system faces irrelevance...

unless we bridge the gap…

between how students live…

…and how they learn.

what skills are needed?

The 3 RsReal, Relevant,

Rigorous

The 4 CsCritical ThinkingCommunication

CollaborationCreativity

When a problem can’t be solved by rules, it is necessary to look for

other solution methods.

Expert Thinking is a collection of specific solution methods that vary

with the problem at hand.

Expert Thinking

Tasks Requiring Expert Thinking

Solving problems for which there are no rule-based solutions.

An individual’s ability to make progress on this type of problem is one good

indicator of their ability to succeed in today’s economy.

Complex Communication

The ability to establish a common understanding of information.

In technology-rich environments where information is abundant

rapidly changing, this skill is essential.

Tasks Requiring Complex Communication

Interacting with humans to acquire, explain or to persuade others based on information.

Problem: Interpret and apply key information in appropriate contexts

Creativity is an essential skill needed to develop and sustain

new occupations.

Tasks Requiring Creativity

It is impossible to imagine many of the new occupations that will exist in a

decade.

But we do know the skills these future occupations will require.
