Partnership for 21st Century Skills

This website offers great resources for teachers to use in order to teach the skills need for students to b successful in the 21st century. Technology has advanced tremendously throughout the last decade and students are not receiving the instruction needed to keep up with the advancement. Students all over the world are challenged in the classroom with the content needed in order to pass state assessments. The state tests do not realize that the lacking areas are not with language, social sciences or math but with technology and science. The students are not being able to use the newer technology due to budget cuts. Partnership for 21st Century skills allows for teachers to see the skills broken down and how to use them in the classroom.  The activities and lessons suggested implement many skills that I did not realize were being used for that task. T he big issue I realized in my classroom at the beginning of the school year focused on the students not being able to think logically on their own and problem solve. The students were used to having information just given to them. Throughout the school year, I have challenged my students to critical thinking and thinking outside of the box. This has allowed for my students to use logic when assessing and solving problems in their lives.
