21st CENTURY SKILLS

In this globally and digitally interconnected world, all learners, from cradle to career, need new skills and knowledge to succeed. If we want to prepare our youth for success in school, work and life, opportunities to learn 21st century skills are essential. They not only provide a framework for successful learning in the classroom, but ensure students can thrive in a world where change is constant and learning never stops. And they are also tremendously important for our nation’s well-being. Our business community demands a workforce with these skills to ensure our competitiveness in a global economy. At times when our civic life feels strained, we want our learners to enter the world with an understanding of what it takes to be a good citizen—one who is a self-directed learner, an innovator, financially & economically literate, information and media literate, globally aware, civically engaged, a communicator, a problem solver, a collaborator and a critical thinker.
