What do Teachers Think 21st Century Skills Are?

Teachers are vague and refer to 21st Century Skills as:

“technology” and “problem solving”

“outside” their content

What are they?Which skills are the most important for Students?

P21 Mile Guide Rather than identify or list 21st C Skills (a low level task) you will discuss how important specific skills are for students, evaluate/rank importance and justify ranking

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

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.

Informative Assessment

Informative assessment guides and facilitates learning.Make instructional and curricular changes intended to

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.

Assessments must facilitate individual group learning, and empower studentsto gauge their own progress.
