The 4 C's!

The 4 C's enables every teacher to bring the best in every student. The main question is: Are we (teachers) ready to change our practices? 

 Not in a particular order; the 4 C's are

1- Critical Thinking
2- Creativity 
3- Communication
4- Collaboration

If we can embed at least 2 of these C's in our classroom, we have succeeded!

Never STOP learning!
