Robert Sternberg, Tufts University
"...has called for a curriculum that centers on developing student competence in what he calls “the other 3 R’s.” In this case, the R’s stand for Reasoning which include analytical, critical thinking, and problem solving skills, Resilience which encompasses life skills such as flexibility, adaptability, and self-reliance, and Responsibility which Sternberg links to wisdom, which he defines as “the application of intelligence, creativity, and knowledge for a common good.” -backbone of the Partnership
Tony Wagner and Robert Kegan, Change Leadership Group at Harvard
"...recommend a curriculum built on a different set of “new 3 R’s” – that is, Rigor, Relevance, and Respect."
Seven things that Tony Wagner talks about - see at the bottom!
Harvard researcher David Perkins
"...who has long advocated that thinking skills be taught as a “meta-curriculum” intertwined with traditional core subjects
Marc Tucker and Judy Codding,
"...who citing decades of research, urge schools to adopt “a thinking curriculum – one that provides a deep understanding of the subject and the ability to apply that understanding to the complex, real-world problems that the student will face as an adult.”
Here are the seven survival skills of which Tony Wagner spoke:
--critical thinking/problem solving
--collaboration/leading by influence
--agility and adaptability
--initiative and entrepreneurialism
