Foundations of 21st Century
Education - using a Compass, not a Map!
Authentic education is about much more than the standards!
We agree that the standards are important, and we will show you an easy way to not only meet, but
exceed, the standards while designing and delivering authentic,
21st century curriculum! From the board room to the
classroom, use our
Compass
Roses when planning everything from policy to professional
development, curriculum, instruction & assessment! The
compass rose link will take you to the following:
-
Critical Attributes of 21st Century
Education
-
Multiple Literacies for the 21st Century

Survival Skills of the 21st Century

Teacher Education Initiative in your district or country! - From global classrooms, to
programs linking schools to schools internationally, to our
Teacher Education Initiative custom-designed for each
country . . . there is much to see, and much more coming!

Become a member of the
Coalition
of 21st Century Schools - a new network of schools certified as
a model 21st century school!
21st Century Schools
would be delighted to create a proposal for your project.
As each school or district is unique, with unique needs and
goals, 21st Century Schools does not use "canned" proposals.
After we understand the needs
of the client, we create an in-depth, personalized, custom
proposal. These proposals can take up to two weeks to
prepare and refine. Therefore a fee is charged, credited
toward consulting fees upon signing a contract with us.
Contact Us for more information!

On-Site Professional Staff
Development
If your school district has cut
its budget by eliminating travel to out-of-district PD, or if you want a group
or your entire staff to experience our workshops first hand, we can come to you!
Our professional development
is designed as a model of the 21st century classroom - not "sit and get" as
shown below -
But interactive - based upon the
Learning
Pyramid which illustrates that the highest level of learning occurs when the
learners "teach each other and make immediate use of their learning" . . .
Please
contact us now
to reserve your dates for on-site professional development, both in the United
States and abroad!
* Our workshops are being continually redesigned and updated to keep up
with new technologies such as Web 2.0 tools, social media developments,
current research and developments in education and our always evolving
creative ideas for curriculum!
