"RIGOR REDEFINED"

This article by Tony Wagner is based on the 21st century skills that employers look for in possible workers. We learn that many schools are failing to teach students these necessary school and how this is becoming a problem. 21st century skills are the skills necessary for survival in the modern world and include: critical thinking, problem solving, collaboration, leadership, agility, adaptability, initiative, entrepreneurialism, effective oral/written communication, accessing/analyzing information, curiosity, and imagination. And although these skills may me missing in some students and workers, they are included in the ESLRs of my school, Granada Hills Charter High School. The teachers have taught us how to communicate and think, not just how to memorize information. I have also learned basic technological skills and how to learn as well as many other things that will come in handy when I enter the work force.
