Ultimate goal of SLC is to show how you have transferred skills across disciplines/subjects. By transferring skills across subjects, I mean how you have applied skills and processes in many subjects. Some say, transferable skills are the most important skills in the 21st century.

Please remember to provide a context at the beginning of the SLC; such as, 'In my SLC presentation, I will showing you how I have learned and applied skills throughout subjects this year. I'll be using the terminologies in Bloom's taxonomy to show how I have used both higher and lower order skills. I'll also show how I have learned important processes such as music composition and report writing. I begin with science; I have used both discuss and explain in science, both higher order skills, but to discuss is more advanced than to explain. I have discussed the advantages and disadvantages of global warming....'

Consider using the skills described in 'Bloom's taxonomy' (show this in your SLC keynote):



While we may not apply our content knowledge in the future, skills and processes will also be relevant. For example, as an accountant, you are not required to use the knowledge of photosynthesis at work, but you may **discuss** whether the company should buy a new accounting software, expand or relocate to a bigger office space. You may have to **synthesize** a new product from three different ideas as a product engineer.
