“technology” and “problem solving”
“outside” their content
What are they?Which skills are the most important for Students?

Understanding of 21st Century Skills and Outcomes
The highest ranked skills for students entering the workforce: applied skills that enable workers to use the knowledge and basic skills they have acquired.
The most desirable skills: work ethic, collaboration, social responsibility, and critical thinking and problem-solving.
Employers also see creativity and innovation as being increasingly important in the future. Close Casner-Lotto, J. & Brenner, M.W. (2006)
Business and education leaders agree: mastery of core subjects and 21st century skills are essential for success in life and work.

Technology’s Potential
Learning increases when technology enables us to tap outside experts, visualize and analyze data, link to real-world contexts, and take advantage of opportunities for feedback, reflection, and analysis (Bransford, Brown & Cocking, 2000).
Partnership for 21st Century Skills
The knowledg
e and skills most
students learn
today in school
The knowledge and skills required
for success in
21st century
communities and
workplaces.
We Must Close the
Gap
The Case for 21st Century Learning
Our current educational landscape:US is falling behind on international
comparison of educational performance (2003 PISA)
US ranks 24th out of 29 countries-Mathematics
Problem solving US tied with Spain, Portugal, and Italy and ahead of only Greece, Turkey, and Mexico
Ken Kay CEO Partnership for 21st Century Skills
What do these scores mean?
Level 1 -6At Level 1 students can answer questions
involving familiar contexts where all relevant information is present and the questions are clearly defined. They are able to identify information and to carry out routine procedures according to direct instructions in explicit situations. They can perform actions that are obvious and follow immediately from the given stimuli.
In the United States
NAEP assessed over 21,000 12 grade students in reading and math in 2005
The average reading score for 12th graders fell 6 points from1992 to 2005
The % of students in grade 12 at or above Proficient decreased from 40% (1992) to 35% (2005)
In 2005 in Mathematics 61% of 12th graders were at or above Basic level. (23% were at/above Proficient)
US graduates taking more courses
HS graduates (2.7 million) in 2005 earned an average of 26.8 credits – more than any previous class
They earned more credits in “core” academics
They earned more credits in fine arts, foreign languages, and technology
The % of grads who took at least a standard curriculum rose from 40% (1990) to 68% (2005)
What’s different?
The U.S. texts, she said, are much thicker and more cluttered than the ones her students use. “It’s impossible when you have 1,100 pages of math that you get the message,” she said.
Principal- the highest-scoring school in the world
Response to TIMMS
Schmidt, University of Michigan Ann Arbor,“a mile wide and an inch deep”
“It’s basically, you cover everything, everywhere, because somehow, somebody will learn something somewhere,”
For the first time our children will be less educated than the generation before them.

yield immediate benefits to students.Students can maintain their work as demonstrations of
their learning.Teachers can use evidence of current progress to adjust,
adapt, or supplement the learning experienceServes as a GPS, helping all to see the current position
relative to the destination, while judiciously avoiding judgments.
