The leading advocacy organization infusing 21st century skills into education.

Public Sticky notes

Three critical domains of education--standards, assessment and professional development--continue to dominate the national conversation about 21st century skills. We believe that without substantive changes in the way we approach these areas, we will not be able to ensure 21st century skills outcomes for our students. As a result, the Partnership has released the following brief overviews, which describe the ways in which 21st century skills impact standards, assessment and professional development.

Wisconsin Holds Summit on 21st Century Skills

Madison, Wisc. - March 14 - More than 200 business, commerce, government, and education leaders from throughout the state gathered at the Madison Convention Center for a Summit on 21st Century Skills.  Wisconsin recently joined the Partnership for 21st Century Skills to support efforts to revise academic standards and ensure that the state's graduates are prepared for family-supporting jobs or postsecondary studies.

Summit participants focused on three key questions:

  • What are the knowledge and skills that today's eighth-grade students need to learn to be prepared to enter the workforce now as well as five or 10 years from now?

  • What are the 21st century skills that will sustain and grow a vibrant, global economy?

  • What are the strategies and actions on which business and education can collaborate to increase Wisconsin's educational competitiveness?

Learning Environments Must Break Through the Silos that Separate Learning from the Real World

ORLANDO, FL — Jan. 23, 2009 — Successful learning environments break through the barriers that separate schools from the real world, educators from each other and policymakers from the communities they serve. Yet, many schools continue to reflect their Industrial Age origins with rigid schedules, inflexible facilities and fixed boundaries between grades, disciplines and classrooms, according to a new paper released by the Partnership for 21st Century Skills and sponsored by Cisco Systems
