What students want teachers to know about the 4Cs
In this final episode of our series on integrating the 4Cs, we turn to the experts—our students. Through their own words, they remind us that learning is social, that authenticity matters, and that engagement is key. Their advice challenges us as educators to always create learning experiences both inside and outside the classroom where collaboration, critical thinking, communication, and creativity come to life in meaningful ways. Tune in for a powerful reflection on what students need most from their teachers.Research & resources from the episode:ASCD: Making School Worth Kids’ TimeNational Geographic - Your Kids Want to be SocialCenter for Assessment - Teaching & Assessing 21st Century Skills: A Focus on Student AgencyWorld Economic Forum: Future of Jobs Report Kids Speak on EngagementDRA Video on the AmygdalaResearching Social-Emotional Learning: An interview with Dr. Hamilton-Simmons from Counseling & Student Services4Cs K-12 Continuum 4Cs Single-Point Rubrics WCPSS staff can earn credit for listening to and reflecting on completed series.
