21st Century Skills: Rethinking How Students Learn
I read six chapters or so in this book. It opened my eyes - to not only more details about the 21st century skills, but to how far behind most of the schools I visit are in reaching implementation of the 21st century skills. Just to note - I'm on board with 21st century learning - think it's fabulous, totally what we need in our schools. That said - after reading these chapters - I feel affirmed in my belief that we need to focus on how to help teachers become 21st century teachers because the wealth of expertise required is incredible.
A few basic notes -
Themes for 21st century learning - global awareness, financial economic business and entrepreneurial literacy, civic literacy, health literacy and environmental literacy; change, conflict, design, structure, justice
Skills include (but not limited to) - creativity and innovation, critical thinking and problem solving, communication and collaboration; learning to learn, control over one's learning,problem based learning, decision making, technology
Technology, technology, technology - and not specific tools like Facebook - but
What I kept thinking about as I read was how skilled a student has to be to achieve these skills. Does that make sense? They have to be proficient readers and writers, listeners, and speakers. I don't think this has to happen before or separately as far as instruction - it has to be embedded. What I would find interesting is a text on what the 21st century teaching looks like in a primary grades classroom...specifically in the context of teaching reading and writing. As I read, I thought, "How does this fit into learning the alphabet? Or developing phonemic awareness?" I have a few ideas I'm going to explore. Anybody game for some inquiry and writing?
