21. Framework for 21 st Century Learning globalteacheracad emy.org/fmw.html Beginning ISTE Teacher Standards ISTE Student Standards WI Teacher Standards End

22. Core Subjects and 21st Century Themes Mastery of core subjects and 21st century themes is essential for students in the 21st century. Core subjects include English, reading or language arts, world languages, arts, mathematics, economics, science, geography, history, government and civics. We believe schools must move beyond a focus on basic competency in core subjects to promoting understanding of academic content at much higher levels by weaving 21st century interdisciplinary themes into core subjects: Global Awareness Financial, Economic, Business and Entrepreneurial Literacy Civic Literacy Health Literacy 21 st Century Framework Example: Webquest – Increases global awareness and allows for learning across multiple sciences and also economics. This webquest can easily be tied into many different core subject classes.

23. Learning and Innovation Skills Learning and innovation skills are what separate students who are prepared for increasingly complex life and work environments in the 21st century and those who are not. They include: Creativity and Innovation Critical Thinking and Problem Solving Communication and Collaboration 21 st Century Framework Example: Webquest – Encourages creativity of student critical thinking and facilitates collaboration among students, preparing them for working as a team member in their future careers

24. Information, Media and Technology Skills People in the 21st century live in a technology and media- driven environment, marked by access to an abundance of information, rapid changes in technology tools and the ability to collaborate and make individual contributions on an unprecedented scale. To be effective in the 21st century, citizens and workers must be able to exhibit a range of functional and critical thinking skills, such as: Information Literacy Media Literacy ICT (Information, Communications and Technology) Literacy 21 st Century Framework Example: Webquest Final Project Video – Encourages use of media technology to express ideas, a rising trend in education

25. Life and Career Skills Developing a comprehensive framework for 21st century learning requires more than identifying specific skills, content knowledge, expertise and literacies. An innovative support system must be created to help students master the multi-dimensional abilities required of them in the 21st century. The Partnership has identified five critical support systems that ensure student mastery of 21st century skills: 21 st Century Standards Assessments of 21 st Century Skills 21 st Century Curriculum and Instruction 21 st Century Professional Development 21 st Century Learning Environments 21 st Century Framework Example: Webquest - Offers multiple opportunities for student development, including critical thinking, collaboration and team work, inquiry, awareness of worldly issues, technology literacy and utilization, awareness of internet tools and thinking “outside of the box”
