In the article "Rigor Redefined" I found many things important. What matters to me are the questions, "what skills will students need to build successful careers? What skills will they need to be good citizens? Are these two educational goals in conflict?" I think the skills listed in the article are essential to both forms of situations such as work or social. Critical thinking is good because it helps you solve problems in either work or life situations. It's also good to have collaboration and leadership because then when you have group projects or social events, you can get help from others, and if the team or group isn't doing the right thing, then you or someone else can take leadership and get everyone back on track. The last essential I thought was really a key in this article is communication. I think that communication is key because if something is wrong then you can tell someone exactly how they can help you. Also some people learn differently than others, so communication can help you tell someone that you don't understand how something works or why it is done the way it is done.
