7. 1. Skilled Problem Solvers Students who are skilled problem-­ ‐ solvers will transfer knowledge and skills, including an understanding that failure is not defeat and the ability to construct and justify solutions based on available data, to many different situations. Skilled problem solvers generate their own questions and multiple pathways to solutions.

8. 2. Effective Communicators Students who are effective communicators will have the ability to understand and effectively respond to a wide variety of audiences. They will possess skills in building relationships and consensus, taking a position within a group, compromising, and seeing problems from multiple perspectives. Effective communicators communicate with an authentic audience in multiple modes.

9. 3. Collaborative Workers Students who are collaborative workers will welcome opportunities to collaborate beyond the classroom walls to contribute on a local and global level. Collaborative workers recognize the need for interdependence in the group.

10. 4. Global Citizens Students who are global citizens will appreciate differences and respect diversity to the point of empathy, promote and seek language learning, and give back to society by engaging in service learning in the community and beyond. Global citizens connect first outside the four walls of school and ultimately connect outside our country. Global citizens appreciate and celebrate diversity.

11. 5.Self-Regulated Learners Students who are self-regulated learners will see learning as a systematic and controllable process in which they accept greater responsibility for learning outcomes, are goal-directed and able to demonstrate control over and responsibility for effort and engagement in learning, use metacognition to articulate what they do and do not know in a learning situation, and proactively seek out information when needed and take steps necessary to master it. Self- regulated learners set goals and use assessments to determine pathways of learning.
