The Partnership for 21st Century Skills has authored a new Common Core tool kit.

Having Lee Crockett present to the staff and community in Southold about 21st Century Learning was inspiring and will stimulate an ongoing dialogue to all stakeholders.

Thanks for sharing, Sue.  I wished they videoed the presentations and would share it in a place like here.  Here is a link to the video on what Rochester City School District has been doing to create 21st century learning environment with their EETT Competitive Grants and let me know your reaction to it.

Good morning!  As a passionate follower of 21st Century skills I attended the Ian Jukes/Lee Crockett presentation last night at Southold High School.   The very informative presentation and discussion were well received by an audience of parents, students and educators.  If you are not already connected to the 21st fluency project, you can do so at http://www.fluency21.com/

The evening presentation followed a full day of staff development.  This is a wonderful example on how to involve your total community in the advancement of education.

I am very interested in how the new APPR regulations will effect teaching and learning. I am hopeful the change will be positive.

I am interested in learning more in this area. My district is in the process of revising the APPR and encourging teachers to move beyond teaching to the test.

An interesting compilation of 21st Century Skills information along with a school level view of Bloom's taxonomy. Hope you find it interesting as well: http://edorigami.wikispaces.com/

It is a good to sum up the essence of 21st Century Skills: the category of social and emotional competencies and higher order thinking. I am wondering if someone has mapped out the two dimension matrix of the revised Bloom's taxonomy with examples or samples of educational objectives with specific technology integration experiences. Love to know.

Many 21st Century skills fall into the category of social and emotional competencies and higher order thinking. George Lucas' Educational Foundation (www.glef.org) features many interesting articles and video clips to support the increase of SEL and Project Based Learning in our schools. Check out the examples of 21st century skills in action! Joan
