I believe with all my experience that finding these common threads is the only way to help students find powerful connections between their skill sets and the content we (meaning the community we) need them to know in order to take their place in our society.

I think your word "stickiness" is a good one...and one that is familiar in other arenas. It is the way that we'll be able to gain lots of leverage on learning.
