Author(s):Partnership for 21st Century Skills
Title:A state leader's action guide to 21st century skills
Source:http://www.21stcenturyskills.org/documents/stat...
Date:2006
Organization:Partnership for 21st Century Skills
Short Description:The urgent challenge for state leaders today is to move education into the 21st century. Students must become proficient in new, 21st century skills that are in demand in postsecondary learning, on the job and in modern society. And students must learn critical 21st century content that is not reflected in the core curriculum today.
Annotation:The urgent challenge for state leaders today is to move education into the 21st century. Students must become proficient in new, 21st century skills that are in demand in postsecondary learning, on the job and in modern society. And students must learn critical 21st century content that is not reflected in the core curriculum today. States can provide students with a truly relevant education only if they incorporate 21st century skills into core subjects. In fact, 21st century skills enable students to master core subjects. Further, 21st century skills define the outcomes that states should expect from students. And they make teaching and learning engaging, relevant and meaningful to students’ lives.
