This MOOC is designed principally for practicing teachers who want to incorporate teaching and assessment of 21st century skills into their classrooms, field or workshops; but wondering exactly how they can? It will also be useful to trainee teacher and teacher educators, providing them with an understanding of the challenges associated with teaching and assessment of 21st century skills. This course explains the learning and innovation skills that are known as 21st century skills. It also explores how teachers can recognize these skills in students, how the level of skill of a learner can be assessed, and then how learners can be facilitating to develop their skill. In this course we work through detailed scenario-based examples of 21st century learning and innovation skills. The first is critical thinking and problem solving, a 21st century skill which combines the capacities of collaboration, problem solving, critical thinking, communication and creativity.  In each scenario-based example, you will explore how to understand the nature of each skill from a teaching perspective, how to teach it, and how to assess it. The approach to teaching and assessment in this course derives from the application of a developmental, evidence-based, clinical approach to teaching practice. The course provides a mix of theory and practice, of thinking and doing, and opportunities to share ideas, experience and resources with other participants through discussion forum.
