The 21st Century Fluencies are not about technical prowess, they are critical thinking skills, and they are essential to living in this multimedia world. We call them fluencies for a reason. To be literate means to have knowledge or competence. To be fluent is something a little more, it is to demonstrate mastery and to do so unconsciously and smoothly.

"Free, unstructured playtime gives kids a chance to discover their interests and tap into their creativity. It’s a crucial element for building resilience in children, an attribute they’ll need in order to become happy, productive adults."
Beth Dichter's insight:
This post explores what children need to succeed, and begins by defining success as a " child is one who finds something he loves to do, is generous, empathetic and compassionate, committed to repairing the world, shows grit and the ability to collaborate, creativity and can take constructive criticism." Later in the post the 7 C's of Resilience are introduce as a "road map for helping students to find their inner grit" The seven C's are: * Competence * Confidence * Connection * Character * Contribution * Coping * Control Additional information on the 7 C's is in the online as well as a discussion on the discussion of how creativity "plays an integral part of developing these seven skill sets."

Have you heard of FIT Teaching? FIT stands for Framework for Intentional and Targeted Teaching. This post looks at seven key points that came out of a summer institute. For more information on each of the points click through to the post.
* Recognize that wrong answers came from somewhere. Dig deeper to find out where they came from.
* Ask students what they are learning, not what they are doing.
* Separate compliance from competence.
* Automate responses to recurring events.
* Establish the purpose of a lesson. Determine what students should learn and why they should learn it.
* Get kids to produce language, not just hear it. Encourage collaborative work using academic vocabulary.
* Remember that the gradual release of responsibility does not have to be linear.
Some of these points may resonate with you. If one or more do, think about how you will implement it in your classroom this year.
