    21st Century Student Outcomes


    The elements described in this section as 21st century student outcomes (represented by the
    rainbow) are the skills, knowledge and expertise students should master to succeed in work
    and life in the 21st century.
    1. Content Knowledge and 21st Century Themes
    Mastery of fundamental subjects and 21st century themes is essential for students in the 21st
    century. Disciplines include:
    English, reading or language arts
    World languages
    Arts
    Mathematics
    Economics
    Science
    Geography
    History
    Government and Civics
    In addition to these subjects, we believe schools must move beyond a focus on basic
    competency to promoting understanding of academic content at much higher levels by
    weaving 21st century interdisciplinary themes into curriculum:
    Global awareness
    Financial, economic, business and entrepreneurial literacy
    Civic literacy
    Health literacy
    Environmental literacy
    2. Learning and Innovation Skills:Learning and innovation skills increasingly are being
    recognized as the skills that separate students who are prepared for increasingly complex life
    and work environments in the 21st century, and those who are not. A focus on creativity,
    critical thinking, communication and collaboration is essential to prepare students for the
    future.
    Creativity and Innovation
    Critical Thinking and Problem Solving
    Communication and Collaboration
    3. Information, Media and Technology Skills:Today we live in a technology and media-suffused
    environment with: 1) access to an abundance of information, 2) rapid changes in technology
    tools, and 3) the ability to collaborate and make individual contributions on an unprecedented
    scale. To be effective in the 21st century, citizens and workers must be able to create, evaluate,
    and effectively utilize information, media, and technology.

    essential Life and Career Skills include::
    Flexibility & Adaptability

    21st Century Support Systems


    The elements described below are the critical systems necessary to ensure student mastery of
    21st century skills. 21st century standards, assessments, curriculum, instruction, professional
    development and learning environments must be aligned to produce a support system that
    produces 21st century outcomes for todays students.

    1. 21st Century Standards


    Focus on 21st century skills, content knowledge and expertise.
    Build understanding across and among academic subjects as well as 21st century
    interdisciplinary themes
    Emphasize deep understanding rather than shallow knowledge
    Engage students with the real world data, tools, and experts they will encounter in college,
    on the job, and in life--students learn best when actively engaged in solving meaningful
    problems
    Allow for multiple measures of mastery
    2. Assessment of 21st Century Skills
    Support a balance of assessments, including high-quality standardized testing along with
    effective classroom formative and summative assessments
    Emphasize useful feedback on student performance that is embedded into everyday
    learning
    Require a balance of technology-enhanced, formative and summative assessments that
    measure student mastery of 21st century skills
    Enable development of portfolios of student work that demonstrate mastery of 21st
    century skills to educators and prospective employers
    Enable a balanced portfolio of measures to assess the educational system's effectiveness at
    reaching high levels of student competency in 21st century skills

    Encourages the integration of community resources beyond school walls

    of classroom learning that best promotes 21st century skills for students
    Cultivates teachers' ability to identify students' particular learning styles, intelligences,

    assessments) to reach diverse students and create environments that support
    differentiated teaching and learning
    Supports the continuous evaluation of students' 21st century skills development
    Encourages knowledge sharing among communities of practitioners, using face-to-face,
    virtual and blended communications

    5. 21st Century Learning Environments
    Create learning practices, human support and physical environments that will support the
    teaching and learning of 21st century skill outcomes
    Support professional learning communities that enable educators to collaborate, share
    best practices and integrate 21st century skills into classroom practice
    Enable students to learn in relevant, real world 21st century contexts (e.g., through projectbased or other applied work)
    Allow equitable access to quality learning tools, technologies and resources
    Provide 21st century architectural and interior designs for group, team and individual
    learning.
