Any school interested in preparing students for learning and working in
21st century academic and job settings needs this resource to explain to
teachers the new skills students need and provide teachers with tools to
teach and reinforce these skills. Based on the work of the Partnership
for 21st Century Skills, this action tool defines what students need to
know and be able to do to succeed in a world with new technologies,
global communication, social networking, and the accelerated growth of
knowledge. Introduce teachers to instructional strategies that help
engage students in learning critical thinking and problem solving,
creativity and innovation, communication, and collaboration. And provide
your faculty with instructional planning tools that make it much easier
and faster to design learning opportunities that integrate 21st century
literacies into lessons in any subject. Teachers can then choose from 45
ready-to-use classroom tools for helping their students learn and
practice the 21st century skills in daily instruction. Each tool
includes step-by-step instructions, suggestions for integrating
technology, and reflection questions. All tools and activities in this
book can help you guide students through a variety of models and
processes that allow them to make analytical thinking routine.
