What Are Lifelong Skills?
CCA staff members have identified six Lifelong Skills foundational for teaching and learning at CCA as well as for students’ lifelong learning: Communication, Critical Inquiry, Interpersonal Responsibility, Quantitative Reasoning, Technology, and Aesthetic Perception. The attainment of these skills is measured through CCA’s Assessment of Academic Achievement strategy. (More information on lifelong skills can be found at http://www.ccaurora.edu/assessment/ ) Faculty help students develop by identifying which skills are pertinent to class content, including the skills in the class syllabi, connecting teaching and learning in the course to particular skills, and assessing student success with these skills as part of the assessment of academic achievement.
