2 21 st Century Skills Last Century’s Classroom

3 This Century’s Classroom

4 Massachusetts Has Many Reasons To Be Proud Viewed as being a state that “did Education Reform right” Nationally-recognized standards and assessments We have kept standards high Continued bipartisan support for reform NAEP results top all other states SAT scores at or near the top nationally More than 70% of our graduates go to college

5 We Have Much More Work To Do Employers want graduates who are both “book smart” and prepared to succeed in today’s hi-tech, complex, competitive world. To do this right we must: Find ways to integrate and embed 21 st century skills and knowledge in the K-12 curriculum Create conditions to support our teachers to teach and model these skills Find ways to assess whether these skills are being taught and if students are learning them

6 The Global Economy is Driving Change By 2015, about 85 percent of new jobs will require at least a two-year degree Just 10 percent of the state’s employment opportunities are in manufacturing Employers say most critical job skills are professionalism, work ethic, oral and written communications, teamwork, collaboration, problem solving and critical thinking Recent MBAE study found a majority of high school graduates and many college graduates were lacking in most of those skills

7 Today’s Jobs Require Different Skills Source: Preparing Students to Thrive in the 21 st Century. 2007, Richard Murnane

14  Overhaul the state’s teacher training and professional development programs to recruit and retain high achieving educators who have a background in and up to date knowledge of 21 st century skills. Recommendations: Educator Quality and Support

15  Redesign educator preparation, licensure and PD programs to attract and nurture high achieving candidates  Build public/private partnerships to enhance educator growth and learning opportunities  Offer PD opportunities on 21 st century skills to educators, administrators and staff of ESE  Require all educators to demonstrate mastery of the use of technology to teach, assess and manage student learning  Develop online “Hubs” for curriculum, PD and assessment to share information, best practices and success stories Recommendations: Educator Quality and Support

16  Raise the state’s bar on rigor by embedding complementary 21 st century skills and content throughout the Commonwealth’s curriculum frameworks in every subject. Recommendations: Standards and WF Development

17  Review and update all curriculum frameworks to integrate and embed 21 st century skills  Prior to BESE vote, review revised frameworks with Partnership for 21 st Century Skills and Achieve Inc.’s American Diploma Project  Create and promote new and existing scholarships and incentives for proficiency in 21 st century skills  Encourage schools to offer online learning options  Commit Readiness Centers to serve in part as 21 st century skills capacity-building centers to assist in curriculum and instruction Recommendations: Standards and WF Development

18  Become a national leader in assessment by integrating the measurement of 21 st century skills throughout the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS). Recommendations: Assessment

19  Revamp the U.S. History exam to become the state’s first MCAS exam to test proficiency in both content and 21 st century skills  Update the STE exam to require students to demonstrate knowledge through locally administered projects and lab experiments  Participate in multiple global benchmarking opportunities to analyze how MA performance compares internationally  Develop and formalize partnerships with higher education and private businesses to explore innovative ways to improve MCAS Recommendations: Assessment

20 Recommendations: Accountability  Hold teachers, administrators and the state accountable for incorporating 21 st century skills into the curricula in a complementary way and hold students accountable for learning them.

21  Develop a growth model component of the state’s assessment system  Require all students to use technology to research, develop, complete and present a locally-evaluated senior project prior to graduation  Examine ways to incorporate performance assessment of 21 st century skills and knowledge into the state’s accountability system and provisions  Develop a method to measure the quality of opportunities schools provide for students to engage in creative work  Develop Quality Teaching Audits to examine curricula and teaching methods Recommendations: Accountability

22  Establish up to five 21 st century districts and up to ten 21 st century schools  Expand the number of Expanded Learning Time schools to 100 or more  Expand the Creative Teaching Partners Initiative and strive to place up to 1000 artists, scientists and/or engineers in schools part-time over the next five years Recommendations: Demonstration Vehicles

23 Next Steps  Encourage EOE to draft principles and a vision for the Commonwealth’s 21 st century students, educators, schools and districts, to be adopted by the ESE, DHE and EEC Boards  Build support among education stakeholders  Clearly define the role of the ESE and establish accountability measures  Create an advisory council charged with making policy recommendations to the BESE  Encourage MASS, MASC and union leaders to work together to build support for 21 st century skills  Collaborate with other New England states to adopt a common set of standards and policies
