  1. Third Survival Skill in closing the Global Achievement Gap Agility and Adaptability in the Classroom

  2. According to Clay Parker, CEO of BOC Edwards, today’s workers need to be able to think, be flexible, change, be adaptive, and be able to use a variety of tools to solve problems today.

  3. If we always do like we have always done, then we will always get what we have always gotten. Dr. Roger Jones

  4. is this similar with our Students?

  5. Dr. Jones makes a valid point because as teachers we often teach as we were taught and do not always teach as we would like to learn. In addition, most of us teach a subject that we excelled in as a student and not all of our students are in that same category.

  6. Adaptability • Adaptability is an endless cycle. You can not become complacent as a learner or as a teacher. Our environment changes everyday with every student with every class, every year. • Are our kids changing every year or are we in a holding pattern positioned in time (instructionally)? I have heard veteran teachers say “Well I didn’t act that way when I was a child”, or “This generation of students…………”

  7. Ellen Kumata added during the third survival skill that in order to be comfortable with this new economy and environment, students and teachers have to understand that they live in a world where there isn’t one right answer, or if it is, it’s only right for a nanosecond. You have to be able to take in all sorts of new information, new situations, and be able to operate in ambiguous and unpredictable ways.

  8. Active Participants Vs. Inactive Recipients

  9. Knowledge is the only instrument of production that is not subject to diminishing returns. John Maurice Clark
