succinct, and jargon-free trio:
*From the 20th c. literacy skills of simple reading, writing, and
calculating, we now need higher order literacy: *
*1. thinking and reading critically; *
*2. expressing oneself clearly and persuasively; *
*3. solving complex problems. *
Tony Wagner's list in Global Achievement Gap is pretty good:

2. Collaboration Across Networks and Leading by Influence
3. Agility and Adaptability
4. Initiative and Entrepreneurialism
5. Effective Oral and Written Communications
6. Accessing and Analyzing Information
7. Curiosity and Imagination.
And There is the NAIS Schools of the Future list of 21st century "essential
capacities"
*1.* *Analytical and Creative Thinking and Problem-Solving*
*2.* *Complex Communication=97Oral and Written*
*3.* *Leadership and Teamwork*
*4.* *Digital and Quantitative Literacy*
*5.* *Global Perspective*
*6.* *Adaptability, Initiative, and Risk-Taking*
*7.* *Integrity and Ethical Decision-Making*
