Four Imperatives for 21st Century Learning

• Compete Globally

• Kids are different and learn differently

• Kids are bored, not engaged

• The Creativity Crisis

Page 4: From Students to Learners: New Learning Environments for 21st Century Skills PowerPoint Slides and Resources at

Compete Globally – Who?

• It’s not just about us -- the U.S.A. or Canada

• It’s about our students

• It’s about my daughter or son!

Kids are bored, not engaged

• Creativity – Producing something original and useful• Kim found creativity scores had been steadily rising, just like IQ scores, until

1990. Since then, creativity scores have consistently inched downward.• "What’s common about successful programs is they alternate maximum

divergent thinking with bouts of intense convergent thinking, through several stages," the authors write, and cite schools like the new National Inventors Hall of Fame Middle School in Akron, Ohio: "With as much as three fourths of each day spent in project-based learning, principal Buckner and her team actually work through required curricula, carefully figuring out how kids can learn it through the steps of Treffinger’s Creative Problem-Solving method and other creativity pedagogies. “The creative problem-solving program has the highest success in increasing children’s creativity,” observed William & Mary’s Kim."

The four Cs

• Critical thinking and problem solving

• Communication

• Collaboration

• Creativity and innovationAs the three Rs serve as an umbrella for other

subjects, the four Cs do for other skills.

The three “R”s and the four “C”s

We must fuse the three Rs with the four Cs.

At the core is a student-centered, project- and problem-based

teaching strategy that is tied to both content standards and

schoolwide learning outcomes.

Page 16: From Students to Learners: New Learning Environments for 21st Century Skills PowerPoint Slides and Resources at

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 students need to know. Projects are designed to tackle complex problems, requiring critical thinking. New Tech’s strategy is simple:

Page 17: From Students to Learners: New Learning Environments for 21st Century Skills PowerPoint Slides and Resources at

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.

Page 18: From Students to Learners: New Learning Environments for 21st Century Skills PowerPoint Slides and Resources at

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.

Page 19: From Students to Learners: New Learning Environments for 21st Century Skills PowerPoint Slides and Resources at

Students need to know.

Student questions and “need to knows” drive classroom lectures and activities. Sometimes for the

whole class, sometimes for just one student.

Page 20: From Students to Learners: New Learning Environments for 21st Century Skills PowerPoint Slides and Resources at

Students experiment and apply learning.

Students test their ideas and experiment to find solutions and breakthroughs while

receiving ongoing feedback from instructors.

Page 21: From Students to Learners: New Learning Environments for 21st Century Skills PowerPoint Slides and Resources at

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.

Page 22: From Students to Learners: New Learning Environments for 21st Century Skills PowerPoint Slides and Resources at

Students prepare to present.

Students work on building presentations to represent their work and defend

their solutions.

Page 23: From Students to Learners: New Learning Environments for 21st Century Skills PowerPoint Slides and Resources at

Students present their solutions!

Students present ideas through debates, skits, panels, presentations where their work is evaluated by peers,

teachers, parents, and community.

Some Cautionary TalesIt’s about a lot more than design and technology.

• UK open learning environments (1970s)• Massachusetts: new high schools (mid-1990s)• NW England: new learning centres

Are teachers ready to teach in the new learning environments?
