21st Century Skills, now called Essential Skills in Colorado, like any other content or skill, need to be purposefully modeled, taught, and assessed so students can receive feedback to continue to improve in these skills and to be successful in their future. The skills are critical to the future success of students who are predicted to have 12 or more different jobs in their lifetime, and in a world that is constantly changing in response to one innovative disruption after another.
This site contains some information and resources to help teachers integrate and assess 21st century skills.
I can customize workshops on assessing 21st century/essential skills to meet the needs of your students, teachers, school or district. See https://about.me/nancyw1354 for more information.

The diagram below demonstrates the relationship between content and skills. The 21st century skills should not be taught in isolation, but rather be employed in the pursuit of learning. Learning environments that allow students to practice and to receive feedback on 21st century skills are more likely to ensure student remember and understand content and achieve mastery through transfer and real-world problem solving.
