Critical Attributes of 21st Century Education
|
Years ago I developed 2 "compasses" to use whenever I was designing a new unit of curriculum. The first one was the Critical Attributes of 21st Century Education, and the second one was Multiple Literacies for the 21st Century. Later, after reading The Global Achievement Gap by Tony Wagner, I created a third compass - the 7 Survival Skills for the 21st Century.
Why did I create these compasses? Although I had a rubric for designing a unit, I wanted a tool that I could use as a "quick glance" just to ensure that I had addressed each of the attributes listed on the compasses. You can download the file for the 3 compasses here. Listed below are the 8 critical attributes for 21st century education. |
