“Results That Matter: 21st Century Skills and High School Reform”
http://www.21stcenturyskills.org/
Improving high schools requires the nation to redefine “rigor” to encompass not just mastery of core academic subjects, but also mastery of 21st century skills and content. Rigor must reflect all the results that matter for all high school graduates today. Today’s graduates need to be critical thinkers, problem solvers and effective communicators who are proficient in both core subjects and new, 21st century content and skills. These 21st century skills include learning and thinking skills, information and communications technology literacy skills, and life skills.

“Through my work with the business community, it has become apparent that there isn’t a lack of employees that are technically proficient but a lack of employees that can adequately communicate and collaborate, innovate and think critically. At this pivotal moment in our nation’s history, legislators and policymakers must focus on the outcomes we know produce graduates capable of competing in the 21st century and forging a viable economic future.”
-- Ken Kay, president of the Partnership for 21st Century Skills.

What learning curricula, activities, and experiences, foster 21st Century learning? And what does schooling look like?
19
108319 _Macros
21st Century High Schools: The New Tech High Model
At the core is a student centered, project and problem based
teaching strategy that is tied to both content standards and
school wide learning outcomes.

Project- and Problem-Based LearningKeys to 21st Century Learning
To learn collaboration, work in teams.
To learn critical thinking, take on complex problems.
To learn oral communication, present.
To learn written communication, write.
To learn technology, use technology.
To develop citizenship, take on civic and global issues.
To learn about careers, do internships.
To learn content, research and do all of the above.
NTHS teachers start each unit by throwing students into a realistic or real-world project that both engages interest and generates a list of things the student need to know. Projects are designed to tackle complex problems, requiring critical thinking. New Tech’s strategy is simple:
22
108319 _Macros
21st Century High Schools: The New Tech High Model
Each unit begins when students are presented with a complex, standards-based problem
Students form a team, develop a work contract and build a work plan
23

29

21st Century High Schools: The New Tech High Model
Teachers (project designers) need to:
•Define the outcomes
•Develop evaluation tools
Guiding Questions:
How will students demonstrate these skills?
How will we measure these skills?
How will we ensure students reach proficiency in these skills before they graduate?
