  13. “Results That Matter: 21st Century Skills and High School Reform” Improving high schools requires the nation to redefine “rigor” to encompass not just mastery of core academic subjects, but also mastery of 21st century skills and content. Rigor must reflect all the results that matter for all high school graduates today. Today’s graduates need to be critical thinkers, problem solvers and effective communicators who are proficient in both core subjects and new, 21st century content and skills. These 21st century skills include learning and thinking skills, information and communications technology literacy skills, and life skills. -- March 24, 2006 http://www.21stcenturyskills.org/

  14. “Through my work with the business community, it has become apparent that there isn’t a lack of employees that are technically proficient but a lack of employees that can adequately communicate and collaborate, innovate and think critically. At this pivotal moment in our nation’s history, legislators and policymakers must focus on the outcomes we know produce graduates capable of competing in the 21st century and forging a viable economic future.” -- Ken Kay, president of the Partnership for 21st Century Skills.

  16. 21ST CENTURY SKILLS DEFINED LIFE & CAREER • Flexibility & Adaptability • Initiative & Self-direction • Social & Cross-cultural Skills • Productivity & Accountability • Leadership & Responsibility LEARNING & INNOVATION • Creativity & Innovation • Critical Thinking & Problem-solving • Communication & Collaboration INFORMATION & TECHNOLOGY • Information Literacy • Media Literacy • ICT Literacy Partnership for 21st Century Skills http://www.21stcenturyskills.org

  17. New Technology HS LEARNING OUTCOMES Sacramento 10 Learning Outcomes: • Content Proficient • Able to Write Proficiently • Orally Proficient • Able to Think Critically • Technologically Proficient • Able to Collaborate • Prepared for a Career • Solid Citizens with Ethical Behavior • Able to Analyze and deal with Data • Possessing a solid Work Ethic • Napa 8 Learning Outcomes • TECHNOLOGY LITERACY • COLLABORATION • CRITICAL THINKING • ORAL COMMUNICATION • Written Communication • Career Preparation • Citizenship and Ethics • Curricular Literacy (Content Standards)

  18. What learning curricula, activities, and experiences, foster 21st Century learning? And what does schooling look like?

  19. At the core is a student centered, project and problem based teaching strategy that is tied to both content standards and school wide learning outcomes.

  20. Whole to Part Learning • Know/ Need to Know

  21. Project- and Problem-Based LearningKeys to 21st Century Learning • To learn collaboration, work in teams. • To learn critical thinking, take on complex problems. • To learn oral communication, present. • To learn written communication, write. • To learn technology, use technology. • To develop citizenship, take on civic and global issues. • To learn about careers, do internships. • To learn content, research and do all of the above. NTHS teachers start each unit by throwing students into a realistic or real-world project that both engages interest and generates a list of things the student need to know. Projects are designed to tackle complex problems, requiring critical thinking. New Tech’s strategy is simple:

  22. Each unit begins when students are presented with a complex, standards-based problem Students form a team, develop a work contract and build a work plan

  23. Students get to work! Students are provided an online briefcase specific to the project with information, resources, links and assessment criteria that help guide them.

  24. Students Need To Know Student questions and “need to knows” drive classroom lectures and activities. Sometimes for the whole class … sometime for just one student

  25. Students experiment and apply learning Students test their ideas and experiment to find solutions and breakthroughs while receiving ongoing feedback from instructors.

  26. Students get back to work! Students work and collaborate in a business-like environment, where they know their deliverables and have the technology tools to do their jobs.

  27. Students prepare to present Students work on building presentations to repre-sent their work and defend their solutions

  28. Students present their solutions! Students present ideas through debates, skits, panels, presentations, etc… where their work is evaluated by peers, teachers, parents, and community

  29. Teachers (project designers) need to: • Define the outcomes • Develop evaluation tools Guiding Questions: How will students demonstrate these skills? How will we measure these skills? How will we ensure students reach proficiency in these skills before they graduate?

  30. The finished product:

  31. What classroom learning environments support 21st Century Learning?

  32. Sacramento New Technology High School

  33. Napa New Technology High School

  34. Schools as Workplaces for 21st Century Students

  35. FACILITIES FRAMEWORK Large classrooms that allow for team teaching, computers, group work and creates an environment that reflects school’s purpose. Technology infrastructure to support 1:1 computer ratios

  36. How can technology support a 21st Century collaborative learning environment and support a learning community?

  37. PBL in the ClassroomSample Project Briefcase

  38. School and Course Calendar

  39. 21st CENTURY SKILLS ASSESSMENTS Students receive peer assessments of their collaboration skills at the end of every project … that’s dozens of times each semester!

  40. TOOLS: PRESENTATION EVALUATION DATABASE

  41. SKILLS BASED ASSESSMENT

  42. A REPORT CARD THAT MATTERS When checking grades online, students see course grades and 21st Century skill assessments.

  43. PROJECT BRIEFCASE COURSE CALENDAR PeBL™ isa set of tools and technologies that support a student-centered, project- and problem-based learning environment. COLLABORATION RUBRIC NTHS GRADEBOOK

  44. TOOLS: PROJECT BRIEFCASE The Project Briefcase allows teachers to put all project materials in one spot for easy student access and to share with other teachers.

  45. CURRICULUM SHARING The Project Library allows teachers in our network of schools to search, view and download projects that other teachers have found successful.

  46. More CURRICULUM SHARING The Sharing Space allows teachers in our network of schools to search, view and download projects that other teachers are currently using and refining.

  47. Use technology to create a collaborative learning environment and a Learning Community
