I liked this poster as it showed some of the things we are trying to teach in this collaborative environment. It clearly states some very important skills that the children need to succeed in life. I think the left side is what is happening or should be happening in the class and the right being what Universities or jobs are looking for. It would be good to share this with parents who sometimes question some of the activities that we do with the children. I do think though that many parents are beginning to understand some of the different approaches to teaching today. I also read the blog that Rob Kriete wrote who came up with this. It would be interesting to fill in the activities I do in the hub to see how they fit in to the poster part where evidence can be used.
This tool could be helpful to build a clearer understanding for our parents of what we are teaching and how we are preparing our students for the 21st century.
