Over the years I have found PAW to be a rich source for continuous learning. Having embarked late in life on teaching as my third career, I looked forward to learning from “A Moment With Michelle Shearer ’95, on teaching” (Oct. 5). I was intrigued that as national teacher of the year, she wants to convey to other teachers that “it boils down to what’s being called the 4 Cs: critical thinking, creative problem-solving, communication, and collaboration.” I wonder if there should be a fifth C — competency — or is that covered by the other four?
