achieve a common goal, whether it be creating a flyer for a
community event or creating a Web site for an
entrepreneur’s new business.

use their technology literacy, critical thinking, and
collaboration skills to solve a problem in their community
or in the workforce.

Course Content: Teacher Training
Skills for Success shows teachers that effective learning environments promote
21st century skills. These core elements include:
Thematic
Instruction
A set of exercises or activities that focus on a big idea or
broad concept.
Relevance
Content that is relevant to the context of students’ lives leads
students to deeper engagement and deeper thinking.
Active
Exploration
Students are better prepared to acquire and remember new
information, strategies, or skills once they have spent time
exploring a challenge or problem for themselves.
Choice of
Autonomy
An environment that supports the development of 21st
century skills provides students with a measure of choice in
the activities they undertake, the strategies and tools they
use, and the creative aspects of their plans, projects, or
designs.

[Core elements continued]
Cycles of
Creation
Students’ ability to use technology effectively, think critically,
and collaborate meaningfully with others takes place best
within a cycle of generating and improving their work—in which
students plan, execute, revise, reflect on, and share their
insights about the product or solution they are developing.
Authentic
Feedback
Students must assess their own work in relation to how well it
serves the purposes for which it was intended. Receiving
feedback helps students improve their work and develop their
own critical perspective on it. Learning to give useful feedback
to others also develops a student’s critical thinking and
collaboration capacity.
Teacher as
Facilitator
The teacher as a facilitator helps students actively build on
their own strengths and incorporate their own interests into
their work. (“Guide on the side.”)
