CONSTRUCTING CENTURIES 21/22: MINNESOTA LEAPFROG INSTITUTES STUDENT SKILLS Think systemically: perceiving existing patterns and constructing alternatives to them. Think simulationally: conducting “what if?” thought experiments and mental rehearsals using controlled imagination and projections. Thrive in the midst of changes, challenges, and unknowns: developing perspectives, knowledge, and choices to cope with and leverage complexity and uncertainty. Create and manipulate alternative pasts, presents, and futures: creating and managing virtual time; developing flexible definitions of social and personal time; selectively associating alternative pasts and futures with multiple presents. Develop and respond to goals and challenges: setting goals and objectives; detecting and anticipating impediments to success; designing solutions to impediments. Understand and effectively utilize existing information: accessing and selectively employing information in pursuit of opportunities and problem resolutions. Construct and utilize personally applicable knowledge: selectively transforming information into personally usable knowledge; building a personally styled capability to add intellectual and other forms of variety to the world; enhancing decision-making options. Construct and utilize knowledge related to contexts, processes, and cultures: perceiving, designing, and constructing real and virtual contexts suitable for specific tasks; compiling and utilizing many perspectives on given subjects; enhancing decision-making options. Effectively utilize current and emerging ICT systems: staying atop the technologies that permit modern learning and economies; being first in the adoption and effective use of hardware, software, and networking technologies. Acquire and assess knowledge of selected global trends: constructing “big pictures” of the world using different resources for each picture; becoming a global thinker and citizen; employing big pictures to help contextualize relatively localized problems, opportunities, goals and means. Write and speak in a unique voice: developing and utilizing personal uniqueness; applying uniqueness alone and with cohorts, groups, and teams; developing identity and character. Take personal responsibility for intentions and performance quality: ethically accepting accountability for personal actions and inactions; accepting personal and social assessments of performance quality.
