About the 21st Century
and Education
We see and hear the phrase "21st century" almost everywhere.
Perhaps the term has become so ubiquitous that it has lost much
of its impact or meaning. However, the dramatic impact of the
ongoing technological revolution that ushered in the 21st
century is only growing. It is changing our world, the context
in which our students live and learn, in more dramatic ways with
each new development.
Today's students live in a world that is extremely fast-paced,
constantly changing, increasingly culturally diverse,
technologically driven, and media-saturated. We cannot continue
to deliver a 20th century, scientific-management, factory-model
education. This new context of the 21st century requires that
we redefine "education", "school", "curriculum", "teacher" and
"learner". It requires that we provide an education designed to
help our students truly succeed.
Therefore, we offer educators the knowledge, the understanding,
and the tools to actually take their schools and classrooms into
the 21st century. Read our description of a
21st century
education. |
