Partnership for 21st Century Skills

[tweetmeme source=”librarianbyday” only_single=false]

I was reminded via Stephen Abram’s post Framework for 21st Century Learning about the Partnership for 21st Century Skills. I have a great list of resources that I plan to share and I forget which ones I haven’t and haven’t done. I could have sworn I’d blogged this but searching for it proves futile.

The Partnership for 21st Century Skills is

… a national  organization that advocates for 21st century readiness for every student. As the United States continues to compete in a global  economy that demands innovation, P21 and its members provide tools and resources to help the U.S. education system keep up by fusing the three Rs and four Cs (critical thinking and problem solving, communication, collaboration, and creativity and innovation). While leading districts and schools are already doing this, P21 advocates for local, state and federal policies that support this approach for every school. Learn more about the Partnership and the Framework for 21st Century Learning.
