"This morning I was thinking about the things that all young people should know how to do regardless of income, geographical location, life goals, etc. I started a list – see below. Some have “always” been true – some are unique to this century of learning. Let me know of any other universal skills you believe young people should know how to do."
Beth Dichter's insight:
What do young people need to know? Jackie Gerstein provides a great visual as well as a list of 18 ideas, and each has a link for additional information. She also requests that you send her additional ideas. After you review the list you might consider how many of these skills are taught in your school, or consider which should be taught in school. * How to be a self-directed learner – finding and using resources (both face-to-face and online) to learn and improve personal interests * How to evaluate websites and online tools for credibility * How to work in mixed-age groups * How to code * How to set and achieve goals

The best question she asks is 'Which are taught in school? Which should be?' These are great questions to explore as a staff in looking at these universal skills.
