Seven Skills Students Need for Their Future
Dr. Wagner has identified what he calls a "global achievement gap," which is the leap between what even our best schools are teaching, and the must-have skills of the future:
- Critical thinking and problem-solving
- Collaboration across networks and leading by influence
- Agility and adaptability
- Initiative and entrepreneurialism
- Effective oral and written communication
- Accessing and analyzing information
- Curiosity and imagination

How do you work on building these skills? No college I know, teaches them yet. How do you embed them into the existing educational system? There are other challenges too? How do you convince teachers, students, parents that you need these skills?
