Description / Descripción
One of the greatest dilemmas for educators today is how to prepare students for VUCA (Volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous) lives. Students are entering our schools with 21sstt century expectations. They are using their technologies as they are connected with a greatly enlarged world while, at the same time, engaged in their daily lives at the local level. Although there are many moving parts, what is stable is the need to become an efficacious and agile thinker in order to make sense and how to take action. The Habits of Mind serve as dispositions in which all learners-- adults and students-- can engage that help them become successful participants in that uncertain future.
