This new resource--a framework that provides teacher-created models for how 21st-century skills such as problem solving, critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity can be incorporated into English classes--is part of P21's effort to create curriculum maps that demonstrate how to teach key 21st-century skills in the classroom.
