21st Century Skills/Tony Wagner Reflection

Tony Wagner is the author of the Global Achievement book and was on the video 21st Century Skills. He is a very interesting man and genuinely cares about where America is going in terms of children's education. He gives a list of seven survival skills for future teachers. They are: 
1.Critical Thinking and Problem Solving
2. Collaboration Across Networks and Leading by influence
3. Initiative and Enterpreneurialism
4. Accessing and Analyzing Information
5. Effective Oral and Written Communication
6. Curiosity and Imagination
7. Agility and Adaptability


I feel that these seven are very broad and break it down very well at what we need to be as future teachers. I think it takes all seven to be a successful teacher. Tony Wagner seems like a very smart man and I trust in what he is saying.
