INTRODUCTION AND VALUES INTEGRATION

Hooray for all the pedagogues who have inherent capacities to excel and be
accountable!
This module will usher you to discover the wonderful 21 st century skills with the
formula – 7Cs, 3Rs, 3Ms. These are so important as you design a curriculum. In
John Wesley’s admonition, we are required to persist to become excellent and
accountable in doing everything, these skills are imperative to realizing and fulfilling
excellence and accountability.
