32. Learning about Learning Context – Real-world learning Caring – Intrinsic motivation Construction – Virtual & visceral model-building Competence – Multiple modes Community – Learning socially in groups & teams

33. The Common CoreSupports 21st Century Learning! 4

34. Common Core and P21 A turning point in the standards movement A common baseline for academic knowledge and college & career readiness skills A foundation - notthe “ceiling”in expectations for student outcomes in the 21st century

35. How P21 Framework & CCSS Connect Common Core and P21 Definition of College & Career Readiness: Rigorous core academic content mastery + Core competencies: Critical & Creative thinking/reasoning, Communication and Collaboration

36. Common Core and P21 P21 Common Core Toolkit: A Guide to Aligning the Common Core State Standards with the Framework for 21st Century Skills www.P21.org/P21Toolkit

37. Common Core and P21 Created with P21 State Partners and Member Organizations with contributions from numerous state education leaders who have already begun Common Core implementation P21 urges integration of CCSS and 4Cs into district and school practices

39. P21 Toolkit Contents Alignment Overview High-level summary of how the P21 framework and the Common Core State Standards support each other Common Core / P21 Examples Lesson vignettes that demonstrate “what it looks like”to align classroom practices with both the Common Core and P21 skills Common Core Resources Compilation of useful links for states and districts to implement the Common Core State Standards Assessment Resources Compilation of background reading on the issue of assessment and the 4Cs

40. P21 and Common Core Common Core and P21 CCSS explicitly integrate higher-order thinking skills nationally for the first time Creativity, life skills and 21st century themes are implied within CCSS CCSS focus on what is most essential and represent a baseline starting point for 21st century learning

41. ELA Key Design Considerations Common Core and P21 A focus on results rather than methods Leaves room for teachers, curriculum developers, and states to determine how goals should be reached Teachers are free to implement best practices to provide students with tools and learning experiences to meet standards

42. P21 Framework & ELA Rigorous content & development of specific 21st Century Skills: “Integration of Knowledge and Ideas” in Reading “Research to Build and Present Knowledge” in Writing “Comprehension and Collaboration” in Speaking and Listening

43. P21 Framework & ELA

44. P21 Framework & Math Drawn from: NCTM’s process standards National Research Council’s report Adding it Up Varieties of expertise that math educators at all levels should seek to develop in their students

45. P21 Framework & Math P21 / CCSS Math Alignment

46. Common Core and P21 21st century learning environments are guided by standards, but require curricula and assessment systems that allow students to think critically and creatively, to collaborate and communicate effectively, and to apply these skills to the real world Educators must design curricula and assessments that: Emphasize authentic real world problems Engage students in inquiry and exploration Provide opportunities for students to apply what they know in meaningful ways
