21st Century Learning Look-Fors (Critical Thinking, Innovation, Problem Solving, Collaboration) Students successfully grapple with higher-order questions asked by teacher. Students articulate meaningful responses to so what (what if, why). Students generate higher-level questions. Students engage in authentic learning activities and/or create authentic work. Students defend positions with justification based on factual evidence and data. Students analyze and solve problems by generating a variety of ideas and solutions. Students recognize and pose problems inherent in a given situation. Students adapt learned knowledge to more complex/ambiguous situations. Students use and explain the right method of thinking (reasoning, decision making, problem solving, making judgments). Students evaluate and communicate their own thinking. Students make connections and predictions using prior knowledge. Students select, create, use and communicate effectiveness of a variety of tools, such as graphic organizers.
