    "If you've been following public discourse in education over the last couple of years, you have likely witnessed the emergence of a new, ubiquitous catch phrase: "21st century skills." After some time and considerable debate within and among organizations like ISTE/NETS, enGauge, and The Partnership for 21st Century Skills, a general consensus has emerged on definitions of the term. Many for-profit and not-for-profit organizations advertise their curricula to potential school and district clients, touting the alignment with 21st century skills with whatever they are pitching. The vast majority of these, from the traditional "drill and kill" to the more reformed, constructivist and project-based approaches, have adopted the rhetoric (if not the practice) of the new millennium. What is still lacking in the landscape of 21st century education, however, are examples of 21st century student work. While there is no shortage of discourse around the term or end to the lists qualifying the kind of work that students need to be engaged in as part of their 21st century education, there are precious few examples of actual 21st century work."

Apple - Challenge Based Learning - Process - 0 views

  • What makes up a productive design team? How do we capitalize on everyone’s skills? In today’s workforce, individuals with various skill sets typically work together in teams on specific projects or challenges. During this team formation stage, it is important to consider roles and responsibilities and discuss the developmental nature of teams.

      This was another aspect that I found crucial in my attempt at collaborative teams and challenge questions this year. The make-up of the teams was very crucial. Careful observation of accountable talk, engagement, and student roles through the use of observation charts helped me group the students in more appropriate groups and still give them some choice as to who they could work with. Heterogeneous vs. homogeneous groups were key. I hope to explore this in more depth through this challenge based model.

      Here it is... what our goals are for our students to be successful in life, not just on the high stakes tests. I think that if we are teaching these critical skills that "... the rest will follow" and we will see big gains in student proficiency.
  • both individual and collaborative problem-solving

      Collaborative... this is significant,no longer focusing on individual student performance, but the performance of a team, a collaborative group. How do we educate the parents of the 21st century to adapt to this new model?

  • According to Ronald Doll, curriculum actually refers to all purposeful activity that takes place within the classroom.
    • Jennifer Volpato

      I like Doll's reference to curriculum being inclusive of all purposefl activity in the classroom, as opposed to just the content that is "covered". Purposeful activity, meaningful experiences, all ring strong within quality educational practice...successful implementation seems to be the next desired component.
