21st CENTURY SKILLS PORTFOLIO
21st CENTURY SKILLS PORTFOLIO
"Today’s youth face a rapidly changing world, requiring them to move beyond basic formulaic knowledge and skills. Current educational policy, such as the Common Core State Standards (CCSS), represents a shift away from rote learning and memorization of facts to the development of the 21st-century skills of creativity: critical thinking; communication; collaboration; and information, media, and technology skills (IMTS)" (Michaels et al., 2015).
As an educator, I am focused on developing 21st Century Skills in my students with creative lesson plans, thoughtful community building, and leading by example. I will assess students for development of 21st Century Skills so that they are prepared to make their unique contributions to our global society. Please browse below for some examples of my work!
