Worksheet #1
Questions for Discussion • What is a 21st century outcome “best practice” of your school? • What 21st century outcome should your school be more intentional and purposeful about? © 2010 EdLeader21. All rights reserved.
Overview • What is a 21st century education? • What are the 7 steps for becoming a 21st century school? • What is EdLeader21? • Question from conclusion on public/private partnerships. © 2010 EdLeader21. All rights reserved.
What is 21st century education?
The P21 Framework for 21st Century Learning
The 3Rs and the 4Cs Fusing the 3Rs with the 4Cs
The 4Cs and 21st Century Education (The 4Cs are Critical Thinking, Communication, Collaboration, & Creativity)
Are the 4C’s a “nice to have” or a “must have?”
Take a look at this college-level biology question The creeping horizontal and subterranean stems of ferns are referred to as 1. Prothalli 2. Fronds 3. Stipes 4. Roots 5. Rhizomes 10
Now examine this college-level biology question H+ + HCO3 H20 + C02 The equation above shows a reversible reaction that occurs in blood. An Olympic marathoner training at high altitude in Colorado feels dizzy and begins hyperventilating while taking a run. Her blood pH is elevated, resulting in alkalosis. How will normal blood pH be restored? 1. An increase in 02 concentration in the plasma will lead to a decrease in H+ concentration 2. An increase in CO2 concentration in the plasma will lead to an increase in H+ concentration 3. A decrease in sweating will lead to an increase in HCO3 concentration 4. A decrease in respiration will lead to an increase in plasma O2 concentration 11
How do we shift from “Question #1” education to “Question #2” education?
