"See the Possibilities, and Change the World!" For us, changing the world takes place through the public education system, in particular, and through the education of the public, in general. It is the position of 21st Century Schools that the current educational system in the United States is in need of total restructuring. This restructuring must occur on all levels simultaneously, and cannot be accomplished with bits and pieces of reform here and there. 21st Century Schools selected two avenues for creating change: 1) Curriculum and Instruction (including Assessment and Testing) - through the design of 21st century curriculum and application of appropriate classroom strategies, and 2) Professional Staff Development for educators - through regional workshops and on-site professional development. We believe that real change must occur in the classrooms of our nation; therefore, we go to the heart of the classrooms: the teachers, and the “what” and “how” of their work – curriculum and instruction. This web site offers a growing resource for educators who want to make changes in their classrooms, their schools, their communities and the world. We hope that you will find the content offered on this site useful.  Please let us hear from you!  Anne Shaw, Director Director@21stCenturySchools.com
