Twenty-first century curriculum has
certain critical attributes. It is interdisciplinary,
project-based, and research-driven. It is connected to the
community – local, state, national and global. Sometimes
students are collaborating with people around the world in
various projects. The curriculum incorporates higher order
thinking skills, multiple intelligences, technology and
multimedia, the multiple literacies of the 21st
century, and authentic assessments. Service learning is an
important component.
