The six Global Competencies (also known as the 6Cs) are the ultimate goals and desired student outcomes of the deep learning process.
To achieve this, the deep learning framework relies on educators intentionally designing authentic learning experiences that actively develop these global comptencies: Character, Citizenship, Collaboration, Communication, Creativity, and Critical Thinking.
"The Deep Learning Competencies, better known as the 6 C's, are the skill sets each and every student needs to achieve and excel in, in order to flourish in today's complex world. These competencies form the foundation for the New Measures and NPDL teachers use the Deep Learning Progressions to assess students' current levels in each of the six Deep Learning Competencies. They combine this with information about student achievement, interests, and aspirations to get a clear understanding of what each student needs to learn."
