I appreciated the Technical, Academic, and 21st century skill distinctions.

21st century feels more like skills or traits that an employer might want to see.  
Academic skills being base knowledge like Reading, Writing, Arithmetics.  Kind of like the concept of trivium.  Grammar, Logic (Dialectics), and Rhetoric.  
Technical skills being topics specific to the career and work.

I often group concepts and understanding, modeling, and doing as 3 different sorts of skills because the assessments look drastically different.  Each really merit there own learning objectives that are different from one another.  Modeling is all math.  Doing is all showing and have time and actions eaten up to produce some result that is meaningful.  Concepts and understanding is very theoretical, heavily communication based.  As opposed to math based or physical action.  Each of those require very different testing and assessment approaches.
