These resources are a good starting point when you want to implement 21st century SECRET skills. The guide book provides you with the theory of the skills as well as how to start. There is a template included on how to teach and assess these skills. The other pieces provide rubrics for students to assess their own skills as well as their peers.

This is an example of SECRET posters students have created using their own words with teacher guidance.
Students have described what each skill looks like, sounds like and feels like in action. You can use this template and add your students' descriptions in to personalize the posters to your room.

This is a collection of reflections and other materials that will be useful for report card and parent teacher interviews to explain the SECRET skills as well as reflect on progress to date.

This is the presentation and supporting resources that were used at the SHEA conference 2019 to develop Collective Responsibility and 21st century skills.

Seven Essentials for Project-Based Learning
John Larmer and John R. Mergendoller

Some "projects" border on busywork. Others involve meaningful inquiry that engages students' minds.

This article outlines the seven essential inclusions to make PBL a success for you and your students.

"Shifting Minds 3.0: Redefining the Learning Landscape in Canada offers a vehicle for learning systems to reflect and inspire innovation that supports competency and resiliency in a global economy."

KEY MESSAGES
"*Surface changes in education will not equip students for the 21st century: change is needed at the core of educational practice.
*Whole-system reform requires conditions that support educators in examining and reshaping the foundations on which their practice is built.
*A dual strategy of both improvement and innovation is required to maintain stability while enabling forward momentum.
*Leaders watch for the fine balance between the need for autonomy to innovate at the school level and the desire for systemic and sustainable improvement.
*Diversity is messy but critical in order to minimize ‘group think’ and maximize the possible solutions that will meet real-world needs.
*Insights from complexity theory can help leaders think outside the box of the traditional system to inspire and spread positive changes.
*Change is inevitable: transformation is possible."
