21st Century Skills
• “…an entire generation of kids will fail to make the grade in the global economy because they can’t think their way through abstract problems, work in teams, distinguish good information from bad, or speak a language other than English.”
-How to Build a Student for the 21st Century, TIME Magazine, December 18, 2006
“I am calling on our nation’s governors and state education chiefs to develop standards and assessments that don’t simply measure whether students can fill in
a bubble on a test, but whether they possess 21st century skills like problem-solving and critical thinking
and entrepreneurship and creativity”
-President Barack Obama, March 2009
