Partnership for 21st Century Skills


Congratulations! Your school/district is "21st Century" in its approach to education support systems. This means that, in general, over 75% of curriculum, assessments, instruction and professional development is focused on both core subject mastery and skills like critical thinking, problem solving, communication and collaboration. There is also a focus on themes like financial, civic and environmental literacy.

I agree with my school's highest scoring area: Education Support Systems. My school widely emphasizes on curriculum/objectives and making sure instruction and professional development directly relates to our school's standards. We also work to make sure our content is rigorous and taught to mastery. We are trained with resources that push critical thinking/problem solving, such as Delta Foss science kits. We also design workshop lessons, which promotes communication/collaboration between our students. Out of the possible 21st century skills, I agree that my school is doing an excellent job on Education Support Systems.
