This is a key skill that is almost avoidable in all work environments. Students learn from different perspectives in working with others, and it helps build respect and exposes them to students with diverse backgrounds. The classroom community strengthens when students are given opportunities to work with one another. ]]> 2023-07-08 17:01:57 UTC https://padlet.com/DianaMcCauley/u5o2sr5o416zli26/wish/2640890408 DianaMcCauley https://padlet.com/DianaMcCauley/u5o2sr5o416zli26/wish/2640890662 2023-07-08 17:03:30 UTC https://padlet.com/DianaMcCauley/u5o2sr5o416zli26/wish/2640890662 DianaMcCauley https://padlet.com/DianaMcCauley/u5o2sr5o416zli26/wish/2640890887 It is important that students feel like they are a part of a group. A sense of belonging helps students form communities in where they feel safe to explore and speak their minds.

Yet it's never too early for young minds to think about the work they want to do in the future as well. From learning centers and dramatic play in the elementary levels, to career days and visits from professionals at the middle school level, students should always be reminded that their ultimate goal is to find a satisfying career. ]]> 2023-07-08 17:07:44 UTC https://padlet.com/DianaMcCauley/u5o2sr5o416zli26/wish/2640891299 DianaMcCauley https://padlet.com/DianaMcCauley/u5o2sr5o416zli26/wish/2640896179 Critical thinking is observing, evaluating, communicating, decision-making, debating, and informing. 
When students evaluate a specific problem, they must investigate by observing and asking questions. It involves design-thinking, to really understand and determine a best solution to a problem or situation. ]]> 2023-07-08 17:35:58 UTC https://padlet.com/DianaMcCauley/u5o2sr5o416zli26/wish/2640896179 DianaMcCauley https://padlet.com/DianaMcCauley/u5o2sr5o416zli26/wish/2640896999 2023-07-08 17:38:56 UTC https://padlet.com/DianaMcCauley/u5o2sr5o416zli26/wish/2640896999 DianaMcCauley https://padlet.com/DianaMcCauley/u5o2sr5o416zli26/wish/2641206023 2023-07-09 21:11:21 UTC https://padlet.com/DianaMcCauley/u5o2sr5o416zli26/wish/2641206023
