Measuring 21st-century skills

To remain competitive in an increasingly global, knowledge-based
economy, today’s employers need graduates who are adept at so-called
“21st-century skills” such as using information and communications
technology (ICT) to gather and assess information, collaborate,
innovate, think critically, and solve problems. Yet, in meeting this
need, educators face a few key challenges: How can they teach these
skills to students in the context of the core curriculum? And, how can
they measure students’ attainment of these skills?

With the generous support of Learning.com, the editors of eSchool
News have compiled this collection of stories from our archives, along
with other relevant resources from around the web, to help you and your
staff best answer these questions in your own schools.
