This week's episode is a response to a tweet from August 6 by Chris Quinn (@ChrisQuinn64). He posted a sketchnote by Sylvia Duckworth depicting a circle cut into 6 sections. Above the graphic: “Embracing the 6Cs of Education (supported by well-being) can help us to build the best growth opportunities for and with our children.” The 6 sections were each labeled with a "C" word: Character, Citizenship, Collaboration, Critical Thinking, Communication, Creativity.
My initial reaction just reading the labels was that the model was outdated because the categories mentioned, like character education and citizenship were outdated. But then I saw Dr. Michael Fullan, scholar and researcher was listed as the source and Sylvia Duckworth another eminent educator who I respect a great deal. I also thought about Chris and his attention to detail before posting anything. So I did what I always do when I question myself. I reflected on what I wrote; I searched for the source of Chris’s post via Dr. Fullan. Education Plus Whitepaper (2014) written by Dr. Fullan and Geoff Scott.
