Activities
to Develop 21 st
Century Skills
Intended Learning Outcomes
● The easy part is using this lesson plan package as a starting point to
explicitly teach 21st Century Skills to students.
Just because students work in groups, doesn’t mean they are working
well.
● collaboration
● coordination
● cooperation
3 different teamwork styles
● cooperation
sharing ideas / resources, but we have
individual goals, and we support each other
and their goals. (We might end up creating
something new)
3 different teamwork styles
● coordination
teamwork through implementation of a
plan. (We have a shared goal, but we’re not
creating a new plan / understanding. Simply
executing a plan.)
3 different teamwork styles
● collaboration
working as equals, creating a new
understanding / plan / idea.
Group work doesn’t always mean the group is working. Or that
collaboration takes place.
Do students…
● Reflect on their own group work style?
● Develop a growth mindset?
● Recognize that we can use specific collaborative learning strategies
to become better at collaborating?
● Understand that collaboration is different from co-ordination and co-
operation?
● Understand that collaboration is not the same as communication.
(Although you do need effective communication skills to be able to
collaborate well with others.)
● Teaching collaboration skills for students means getting them to realize that
it’s more than just about working in a group or “teamwork.”
