Critical consumers of information and products
Effective communicators, both orally and in writing
Individual academic, personal and social skills
Effective problem solvers
Access to broad and challenging curriculum

5. 21st Century Practices
Critical Thinking - “habits of mind” such as analysis, interpretation, precision and accuracy, problem solving, and reasoning can be as or more important than content knowledge in determining success in college courses
Communication - Expressing thoughts clearly and crisply, articulating opinions, communicating coherent instructions, motivating others through powerful speech

6. 21st Century Practices
Collaboration - Not only does a collaborative effort create more holistic results than individual efforts, but it also creates knowledge for a greater number of people.
Creativity - Creativity and innovation are key drivers in the global economy. “Freedom within a structure”

7. Staff Commitment to Continuous Improvement
