What Are the 4 C's of 21st Century Skills?
Written by Bri Stauffer | May 7, 2020 1:00:00 PM
As a middle or high school career readiness teacher, you likely need

to teach 21st century skills as part of your curriculum.
While all twelve of those skills are necessary to teach, the "four C's" are
often considered to be the most important.
The four C’s of 21st Century skills are:
1. Critical thinking
2. Creativity
3. Collaboration
4. Communication
These four skills are essential for modern students to succeed in school
and the workplace.
They often make the biggest impact in terms of setting your students apart
when applying for and starting their careers.
In this article, you'll discover what each skill entails and why they are
so important to teach.
You'll also be able to download a free guide on how you can teach the 4
C's of 21st Century skills in middle or high school courses.
1. Critical Thinking
Critical thinking is the practice of solving problems, among other

qualities.
In addition to working through problems, solving puzzles, and similar

activities, critical thinking also includes an element of skepticism.
This is important in the 21st Century because it’s harder than ever to verify
accurate information (mostly thanks to the Internet).
Critical thinking empowers students to discover the truth in assertions,

especially when it comes to separating fact from opinion.
With critical thinking, students don’t just learn a set of facts or figures.
Instead, they learn how to discover the facts and figures for themselves.
They ask questions. They become engaged in the world around them.
They help others think critically, too.
That might be the most important part of critical thinking. Once one student
has it mastered, it quickly spreads to their peers.
Whether they learn how to think critically from spending time online or
simply asking “Why?” in everyday life, this skill prepares students for a life
of independence and purposeful thought.
Still, critical thinking is just one of the four C’s in 21st Century skills.
It works just fine when students use it alone. But when students combine it
with the next skill, the sky is the limit to what they can achieve.
2. Creativity
Creativity is the practice of thinking outside the box.
While creativity is often treated like a you-have-it-or-you-don’t quality,

students can learn how to be creative by solving problems, creating
systems, or just trying something they haven’t tried before.
That doesn’t mean every student will become an artist or a writer.
Instead, it means they’ll be able to look at a problem from multiple

perspectives — including those that others may not see.
Creativity allows students to embrace their inner strengths from big-picture

planning to meticulous organization.
As a student learns about their creativity, they also learn how to express it
in healthy and productive ways.
More importantly, they also become motivated to share that creativity with

others.
Just like with critical thinking, that makes creativity contagious.
One student creates an interesting or innovative solution to a problem.

Then, when they share it, the next student can become inspired to try
something similar.
That’s not to say every single creative endeavor will be a ringing success.
Students will fail at some point, and some of their ideas simply won’t work.
But that’s okay. The point of creativity is to encourage students to think

differently than convention demands.
They don’t have to do things the way they’ve always been done.
Instead, they can figure out a better way.
Students don’t have to embrace their creativity alone, either.
In fact, creativity works best when combined with the next 21st Century
skill.
3. Collaboration
Collaboration is the practice of working together to achieve a

common goal.
Collaboration is important because whether students realize it or not,

they’ll probably work with other people for the rest of their lives.
Virtually every job requires someone to work with another person at some
point, even if it’s for something as simple as what to get for lunch.
Practicing collaboration and teamwork helps students understand how to

address a problem, pitch solutions, and decide the best course of action.
It’s also helpful for them to learn that other people don’t always have the
same ideas that they do.
In fact, as students practice collaboration more and more, they’ll learn that
they have almost none of the same ideas that others do.
This can affect students in one of two ways. First, it could discourage them
since nobody seems to agree with them that often. Second, it could
embolden them because they realize they’re bringing something unique to
every conversation.
As a teacher, it’s crucial that you encourage students to look at themselves

through that second lens.
That way, students learn that they should speak up when they have an
idea.
They may not be on the money 100% of the time — and some of their
peers may have strong, opinionated reactions — but it’ll teach them to
speak up when they’re working with others.
4. Communication
Communication is the practice of conveying ideas quickly and

clearly.
Communication is often taken for granted in today’s society. After all, if you
say something, that means you conveyed an idea, right?
Not exactly.
In the age of text-based communications — SMS, emails, social media,

etc. — it’s never been more important for students to learn how to convey
their thoughts in a way that others can understand them.
That’s because text-based communications lack tone, which is critical to

understanding the context of someone’s words.
Still, even in situations where vocal tone is available, students need to

learn how to communicate effectively.
That includes minimizing tangents, speaking directly to an idea, and

checking other participants to make sure they’re engaged.
Reading an audience — even if it’s just two other people in a group

discussion — lets students determine whether they should keep expanding
on an idea or wrap up their point.
Their audience could even be their family at Thanksgiving dinner.
The point is that as students practice communication, they become better

at efficiently conveying an idea without losing their point “in the weeds,” so
to speak.
With communication locked down, students can streamline their ideas and
make a positive impression on those around them.
Still, it’s important to note that communication isn’t enough on its own to
help students with 21st Century skills.
To really succeed, students need to use all four of these skills together.
How Do the Four C’s Work Together?
The four C’s of 21st Century skills let students create a whole that’s
greater than the sum of its parts.
That may sound overly-generalized, and you may be right. But the skills
themselves are so general that it’s difficult to pin down what, why, or how
students should learn the four C’s.
It’s most accurate to say that students need the four C’s for any and every
reason.
Critical thinking teaches students to question claims and seek truth.
Creativity teaches students to think in a way that’s unique to them.
Collaboration teaches students that groups can create something bigger

and better than you can on your own.
Communication teaches students how to efficiently convey ideas.
Combined, the four C’s empower students to become one-person think

tanks.
Then, when those students get together, they can achieve almost
anything!
How Do You Teach the Four C's of 21st Century Skills?
Now you know what the four C's of 21st Century skills are and why
employers want new hires to have them.
So how do you teach them in your daily middle and high school classes?
