21st Century Skills Today’s society is characterized by significant economic, political and social shifts due to technology. It should be no surprise that what students learn—as well as how they learn it—and how often they must refresh these skills sets is changing. Today’s students need more sophisticated skills that will serve them throughout their lives. They need skills such as self-direction, visualization, teaming; and dispositions toward global awareness, curiosity, risk-taking, and high productivity with 21st century tools. These skills DO increase academic excellence—but only within learning organizations that embed them in meaningful, rigorous academic content. On this the research is clear. This session will present the 21st century skills important to students, parents, community, and business and industry. Join in the discussion on what this means for education. Take a look at examples of student work that exemplify those skills. Think about how best to bring these skills into schools. The discussion will address the tension between the call for 21st century skills and the high-stakes emphasis on standardized testing of academic content. |
