“Results That Matter: 21st Century Skills and High School Reform”
http://www.21stcenturyskills.org/
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.

RESULTS THAT MATTER
Post-Secondary Success
In 2005, Rockman et al conducted a six-month study of Napa New Technology High School (NTHS) alumni (8 graduating classes since opening in 1996). The study gathered feedback from NTHS graduates regarding their postsecondary education and/or career, 21st Century skills, knowledge and use of technology, and on what they valued most about their NTHS experience:
•89% of the responding alumni attended a 2-year or 4-year college/university or professional or technical institute.
•92% of respondents have applied some or a great deal of what they learned at NTHS to their postsecondary education or career.
•96% of the respondents would choose to attend NTHS again.
•40% of the alumni respondents were either majoring in STEM fields or were working in STEM professions.
High School Success
New Tech High School students graduate with a mastery of 21st Century knowledge and skills, prepared for college, career, and citizenship. New Tech High School uses multiple measures to assess student performance and school accountability, including measures of student engagement, academic success, 21st Century skills, and post-secondary success. NTHS Results that Matter shows high school success data on student achievement, 21st Century Skills, graduation requirements, graduation rates, post-secondary enrollments and STEM Careers, Recognitions, and NTHS Network School Success .

Small and Smaller: The third era of globalization is shrinking the world from size small to a size tiny.
By THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN, March 4, 2004
Globalization 1.0
From the late 1800's to World War I, was driven by falling transportation costs, thanks to the steamship and the railroad. shrank the world from a size large to a size medium.
Globalization 2.0

•Third, the convergence of a variety of software applications — from e-mail, to Google, to Microsoft Office, to specially designed outsourcing programs — that, when combined with all those PC's and bandwidth, made it possible to
create global "work-flow platforms."
Globalization 3.0
Produced by three forces:
•Massive installation of undersea fiber-optic cable and bandwidth (thanks to the dot-com bubble) that have made it possible to globally transmit and store huge amounts of data for almost nothing.
•Second, the diffusion of PC's around the world.

outcomes.

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:
30
108319 _Macros
21st Century High Schools
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
31

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

one student

NTHS 2.0 Thanks to the support of the Napa community, a new wing of NTHS is now being constructed. Napa NTHS was opened 11 years ago, before the full impact of NCLB became apparent. The addition of the 9th and 10th grades in 2004 generated some needs. We are always looking for the best practices in serving all students, researching those practices, adapting them to NTHS, implementing them, and evaluating the results. Our flexibility has contributed to our ongoing success as a small, innovative high school.
