The 4C's are: We have found that in many schools and districts, parents, students, school board members, teachers, and administrators have embraced the 4C's and use it as the starting point for their 21st century education initiatives. We have used the 4C's as the organizing principles for the "7 Steps."
 * Critical thinking
 * Communication
 * Collaboration
 * Creativity

What Are the "7 Steps"?
Once a school or district is inclined to adopt the 4C's, these questions logically arise: What should we do? How do we get started? Where do we head? In order to address these questions we designed the seven steps. [|Step 1: Adopt Your Vision] [|Step 2: Create Community Consensus Around the 4Cs] [|Step 3: Align Your System to the 4Cs] [|Step 4: Use the 4Cs to Build Professional Capacity] [|Step 5: Embed the 4Cs in Curriculum and Assessment] [|Step 6: Use the 4C's to support teachers.] [|Step 7: Improve and innovate: Create a 4C's organization.]
