Developing Students Skills to Face Tomorrow
2

• Skills such as resilience, communication,
  proactivity and leadership are just some of the
  areas that are essential when facing the
  challenges of this century's job landscape - but
  its not always clear how to teach these.
  Sustaining young peoples effort when facing big
  challenges and equipping them with the skillsets
  theyll need to prepare for the unseen future is
  a significant task. But it doesnt have to be a
  daunting one! Following this five step guide, it
  would be easy to support your students on their
  future career journey.

1. Teach Collaboration as a Value and Skillset

• Young people need new skills for the current and
  future workplace that will make them ready to
  collaborate with others, not only in their own
  classroom or workplace but potentially with
  others across the planet. Encouraging students to
  work together on a creative challenge, and
  allowing them to reflect on the learnings they
  take from the exercise, will help them better
  understand what it means to be a part of an
  increasingly collaborative and connected world.

2. Build on Evaluation and Analysis

• New information is being discovered and shared at
  an ever-growing rate. Predictions show that
  50percent of the facts students are memorising
  today will no longer be accurate or complete in
  the near future. Students need to know not only
  how to find accurate information, but also how to
  critically analyse its reliability and
  usefulness. Building research-based tasks and
  projects into your teaching will provide a basis
  to develop this essential 21st century skillset
  for work. Why not try the Life Skills to get
  students thinking about the sorts of ways they
  could put these skills into action.

3. Teach Tolerance and Resilience

• To successfully work in a growing collaborative
  and global community, employers will be looking
  for candidates who show an ability and openness
  to communicate with unfamiliar cultures and
  ideas. To build these skills, students will need
  exposure to open discussions and experiences that
  can help them feel comfortable communicating with
  others. School trips, debating sessions, visits
  to a workplace or QAs with a local employer are
  all good ways of showing students open mind-sets
  in action.

4. Help Students Learn Through their Strengths

• We are all born with brains that want to learn.
  Were also born with different strengths, and by
  growing the strengths we best identify with we
  can better feed that appetite for learning. One
  size certainly doesnt fit all when it comes to
  developing young minds! It can be challenging to
  tailor the curriculum for each individual, but by
  looking ahead you can start to pinpoint elements
  of your classes which will appeal to particular
  students strengths and interests. By using
  front-loading techniques to bring these
  particular topics to the forefront of your
  teaching, you can start to tap into students
  natural curiosity.

5. Use learning beyond the classroom

• By using what they learn repeatedly and in
  different, personally meaningful ways, students
  will find it much easier to retain and retrieve
  what they learn in the classroom. It will also
  help them better understand the importance of
  certain skills in their everyday and future
  lives. Try providing opportunities for students
  to "transfer" school learning to real-life
  situations for example, when looking at solving
  a problem, ask students how they would approach a
  scenario that could happen to them, and the steps
  they would go through to solve it. You can make a
  start with the Life Skills Problem Solving
  session like something, which sets out an
  approach to systematically tackle challenges,
  with real-life scenarios to inspire your
  students.
