A Publication of the 3C Collaborative: This manual presents materials through which teachers/counselors in all subjects can help students define and understand the skills they will need in their careers, post-secondary education and as citizens. It begins with an overview of 38 skills grouped into ten categories, followed by a Student Skills Assessment of the 38 skills that teachers/counselors can introduce at any stage in a high school student's program. This is followed by guidelines for teacher/counselors evaluations of the Student Skills compact lessons for each skill and includes a plan for which students can use to practice and continue to assess their development of each skill.

Grants also support efforts to develop new learning environments to understand how schools, libraries, museums, and other formal and informal institutions need to adapt, change, and collaborate as a result of young people's use of digital media. Projects are looking at learning in virtual worlds, through game design, with mobile devices, and through the interactions in social networks-in and out of school. Resources support new school design, including a model based on the principles of game design that shape and inform all aspects of teaching and learning.

Good advice for all.
