Recently, education has seen a shift away from content-focused instruction and towards a skill or competency-based approach to teaching and learning. How can we as teachers get the balance right between students learning information and students learning the skills required to find it, sort it, process it and create with it? How might we center the acquisition of self-management and interpersonal skills to provide the best foundation for this deeper learning? This workshop explores practical strategies for explicitly teaching skills and competencies in the context of your classroom learning.
