Empowering educators to equip learners with 21st Century Skills
Abstract / پوختە / الملخص
In this session we shall explore the core skills, capabilities and attributes that teachers, managers and school leaders need to empower and ready learners for life after full time education. 21st Centrury Skills such as critical thinking, communication, creativity, problem-solving, perseverance, collaboration, self-direction, innovation and thinking are encouraged by helping individuals become independent, self-sufficent and most significantly, reflective. An effective way to facilitate such attributes is through coaching and mentoring skills development. In this session, we shall take a look at how coaching and mentoring can accelerate the acquisition of 21st Century Skills in our classrooms – for educators, for school managers and leaders, and critically, for learners. We shall explore two coaching/mentoring techniques that work in both personal and professional settings, leaving attendees with a set of tools to take away and experiment with after the session. We’ll also provide links to a growing set of resources, free to use for educators.
