The Three “C’s”
At Miami Norland Senior High School, in addition to the basic skills of literacy and numeracy, every learner must master the "three C's" …Communication, Collaboration, and Creative Problem Solving.
Beyond these are the equally important skills of knowing how to use numbers and data in real-world tasks, the ability to locate and process information relevant to the task at hand, technological fluency, and, most of all, the skills and attitudes needed to be a lifelong learner.
