Are 21st Century Skills a new fad in education?This is a featured page

The 21st century skills are not a fad but rather the clear outline of skills that students must be able to use when they leave their K-12 school experience. The 21st century skills describe what students need in order to apply the knowledge they learn in school. While the term and the emphasis are new, the skills are not. The evidence that there is a gap between what Colorado students know and what they can apply in the work place or in college settings is the level of remediation needed when they enter college or the workforce. The 21st century skills will bridge the gap by aligning classrooms learning with real world environments. For more information on 21st century skills go to http://www.21stcenturyskills.org/
