The 6C’s for 21st Century Competency 

 The author is honest to begin her post by reflecting on one of the most important lessons she learned about business. “The difference between your industry and mine,” he said, is that “in my industry, we have to change before we need to, while, in your industry, you won’t change even when it’s clear that you must” (Barnes, 2008). This philosophical approach has governed her discussions ever since.

Her [the author] main points of concern are those which affect the world’s education systems in the twenty-first century. Some of which are the many technological advances achieved and those anticipated to come in due time. One concern is she stresses the need to segment educational learning models in the same fashion a marketer would segment their market – different strokes for different folks. To further illustrate this, she [the author] suggests segmenting the learning models by student’s abilities and not by happenstance circumstances such as place of birth, color, economic disadvantages, or the like. She further explains the use of twenty-first-century technology to reach this end.

 Lastly, she [the author] stresses the adoption of the so-called 6Cs for 21st Century Competency. These six areas of competency are as follows: 1) Connect 2) Create 3) Collaborate 4) Communicate 5) Compute and 6) Think Critically.
