writers writing networked education classroom skills

shared by Karen Chichester on 08 May 10 - Cached
  • What are 21st century skills? ➢    21st Century Skills are the set of skills students need to succeed in learning, work and life in this century. ➢    To ensure success, students need both deep understanding of the major principles and facts in core subjects (such as math, language, arts, science, history, etc.) and also be able to apply this knowledge to important contemporary themes (such as global awareness, financial, health and environmental literacy, etc.) using a variety of skills, such as: Learning and Innovation Skills (critical thinking and problem solving, creativity and innovation) Digital Literacy Skills (information, media and technology literacy); and Life and Career Skills (initiative and self-direction, leadership, adaptability, etc).
  •  These skills are vital for everyone’s success in our times, and global competition, increased access to technology, digital information and tools are only increasing the importance of these 21st century knowledge-and-skills.
  •  The skills are not new (with the exception of some of the Digital Literacy skills), but for centuries have been offered to only the privileged and gifted students. Yet all students need these skills to succeed.
  • ...14 more annotations...
  • Confucius recognized the need for learning by doing,
  • “I hear and I forget, I see and I remember, I do and I understand”. 
  • Michel de Montaigne said “Rather a mind well-shaped than well-full”.
  • According to Christopher Dede, a professor at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, students are better engaged and learn more deeply when they are taught in the context and environment where that learning normally occurs, such as solving a real-world problem.
  •  According to John Bransford of the University of Washington Professor of Education and Psychology, and author of How People Learn, the following characteristics are part of how we naturally learn: Context – Real-world learning Caring – Intrinsic motivation Construction – Mental & virtual model-building Competence – Multiple pathways to expertise Community – Learning socially in groups & team
  • We advocate for the integration of 21st century skills into the teaching of core subjects and themes. In fact, our work with the Partnership for 21st Century Skills has involved many of the curriculum groups that set standards in english, science, math, geography, etc. (NCTE, NSTA, NCTM, NCGE and others, as well as Achieve/ADP), that represent the experts on what the core content standards in each field should be. We continue to support those groups in helping ensure that 21st century skills are embedded in their standards.
  • Critical thinking, problem solving, communications skills, innovation skills, technology skills and career and life skills will be needed far into the next century, yet many countries have not yet focused their resources on the best ways to teach and assess these skills
  • Isn’t it much more important to ensure students are capable of doing basic arithmetic and reading before moving to these soft skills? ➢    According to Elena Silva, senior policy analyst at Education Sector, “the best learning happens when students learn core subjects and processes, such as the rules and procedures of arithmetic, at the same time that they learn how to think and solve problems.”
  • We now know that motivation and engagement are crucial to learning success. By integrating the learning of core knowledge, key 21st skills, the effective use of technology and applying this learning to relevant, real world problems and questions, in every classroom, we will help build a society of knowledgeable, responsible citizens, workers and leaders equipped to handle the challenges of our times and to continue learning lifelong.
  • he learning of core subjects is amplified and strengthened by the integration of 21st century skills as these skills: Help bring theory, facts, questions and problems, and real world applications together in a powerful learning experiences Have a transformative potential to go beyond the walls of a classroom to connect students with global peers through the development of digital literacies Promote deeper understanding, more useful knowledge, and pro-social, responsible approaches to everyday life when students study core subjects as they learn how to think critically and creatively, research answers to questions, solve problems, and innovate.
  • Students have always wanted to be more engaged in their learning, with relevant materials and content that relate to their lives and the issues of the times.  That pressure is higher now than ever before, as “digital native” students, immersed in today’s technologies, have access to more information and thinking tools than ever before.
  • But parents and educators now have a greater responsibility to guide the students toward the effective use of these powerful tools for improved learning that meets the needs of our times.
  • Teachers are so busy – how do you expect them to incorporate these skills? ➢    The outcome of the “depth vs breadth” decisions will help free up time for the application of skills and for deeper understanding, and as teachers apply effective inquiry, design and project learning methods, they will achieve a better balance of direct instruction and project-oriented methods.
  • Digital literacy is no longer a nice-to-have – it is becoming basic to life in our times.

Illinois cancels the state's last writing exam - chicagotribune.com - 0 views

      Clearly the Fed government doesn't value writing instruction.
  • The writing exam taken by 11th-graders was left intact, state officials said at the time, because some universities and colleges require a writing exam of applicants. But even that test was lost when Quinn and state lawmakers slashed an estimated $269.4 million in public education funding for the coming year.

      I beleive that this is ACT Writing because Illinois is one of the states that uses the ACT as it's HS assessment.
