It also occurred to me that today’s RIM field is an ideal setting to put the six Cs to use. The Six Cs Aren’t Just for Kids-They Were Made for RIM, TooĪs I read Becoming Brilliant, it occurred to me that developing the six Cs is as important for us grownups operating in the present as it is for the children in our lives who will inherit the future. The six Cs are: 1) collaboration 2) communication 3) content 4) critical thinking 5) creative innovation and 6) confidence. Instead, Hirsh-Pasek and Golinkoff argue that for today’s children to succeed in an unknown tomorrow, they also must master the six Cs-a set of “21 st Century skills” for a dynamic world. In other words, subject matter expertise alone won’t provide them with the skills necessary to solve 21st Century problems. What’s more, the skills they will need to thrive are becoming increasingly people, rather than fact, focused. As a result, we do children a disservice if we focus their education on simply memorizing facts and figures, as many subjects they learn today will look much different, or even become irrelevant, in the decades ahead. In Becoming Brilliant: What Science Tells Us About Raising Successful Children, child psychologists Kathy Hirsh-Pasek and Roberta Golinkoff argue that for today’s children, much about the world they will live in as adults hasn’t been created, and many of the jobs they’ll perform don’t even yet exist.
