    What is 21st Century Education and Why Is It Important?

    HOME \ SEÑOR ESCABAR \

    As our world recognizes increased globalization, 21st century learning refers to the skills
    and technologies that will position our students to succeed in a world that ever increasingly
    requires collaboration, critical thinking, adaptability, grit, perseverance and relies less on
    the learning of facts and data. The how and why of learning becomes central and is far
    more important than the what or who from past models. Students must approach lifelong
    learning with a flexible mindset as they tackle 21 st century issues. They must learn to work
    with and listen to a variety of points of view.

    As a world we are seeing that there is more and more need for global cooperation and by
    the time our current students enter the work force that will increase exponentially. As such,
    current classrooms need to be transformed into global classrooms where a variety of
    cultures are explored and discourse around justice and tolerance become essential
    components. Teachers need to demonstrate their willingness to change, be flexible and
    avoid rigidity; to be willing to try new things and fail. From failure comes grit and the ability
    to move on from something that doesn’t work to something that does work. Students must
    be encouraged to try, to be allowed to fail and from that failure learn and move on. Parents
    need to support this at home.

    As we inspire students to be lifelong learners, we must focus on collaboration, systems


    thinking, developing empathy, ease in communication and the use of technologies that
    serve to help us tackle real world issues.
    Project based learning and group work is the standard in education today. Listening to
    different points of view, working with a variety of people with each contributing to the whole
    is a hallmark of 21st century learning. Creating systems to tackle real world problems;
    brainstorming ways to solve a problem and trying a variety of potential systems until one
    works is how great discoveries are made.

    Understanding that there are people with many different talents, strengths and opinions;
    assuming good will when embarking on a task and listening intentionally to others points of
    view are ways to help foster empathy. Approaching a task from the notion that you have
    much to offer and much to learn is also a fundamental tenant of empathy. Our students
    must be comfortable with public speaking, expressing their ideas verbally as well as in
    written format.

    Technology plays a big part in 21st century learning. The use of podcasts, audio and video
    blogs and online learning all play into how education is moving and is significant in high
    schools and universities. Our focus at MPS is in developing basic computer skills including
    the ability to navigate the Internet for research. The Internet is the connection to our global
    world. Students will acquire Internet navigation skills as they move through our program.
    The vast array of resources on the Internet provides a wealth of data and students will
    learn to filter the essential from the nonessential; to incorporate visual images and
    graphics. The use of the interactive White Board is a valuable classroom tool. Students will
    have facility with iPads and laptop computers.

    21st century learning will help our students thrive and survive at MPS, high school,
    university and the work place.
