Focus: the Assessment and Teaching of 21st Century Skills • Traditional assessments may not be suited to measure many 21st century skills • Goal is to develop new assessment approaches matched to new C21 skills and to advise systems, schools and teachers on the use of assessment data to help students develop higher order performances
CONCEPTUALIZING THE SKILLS • Assemble experts • Define methods • Explore practical and technical needs in the classroom • Create a new framework • Five working groups were established: • Defining 21st-century skills: Ms.SentaRaizen, WestEd • Methodological issues: Dr. Mark Wilson, University of California, Berkeley • Technological issues: Dr.BenoCsapo, University of Szeged, Hungary • Classrooms and formative evaluation: Dr. John Bransford, University of Washington, and Dr. Marlene Scardamalia, University of Toronto • Policy frameworks and new assessments: Dr. Linda Darling-Hammond, Stanford University
21ST-CENTURY SKILLS DEFINED ATC21S started by internationally defining 21st-century skills as four broad categories.

Reporting to StudentsLearning Readiness Real time reports will be available, based on empirically developed learning progressions. They will identify a point of readiness to learn for each student. This type of report will be linked to teaching interventions associated with readiness to learn as indicated by the black bar in the spine of the chart.

The System An integrated system • Developmental progressions – standards referenced • Assessment tasks with automatic scoring • Teaching intervention and professional development • Reports for students, teachers and systems Next steps Access and Use Validation studies Expanded resources – mainstream curriculum Other 21st century skills ATC21S Assessment and Teaching of 21st Century Skills The University of Melbourne • Cisco • Intel • Microsoft • www.atc21s.org
Transfer and Utility To what degree will 21st century skills such as collaborative problem solving or ICT Literacy in Learning Networks facilitate student learning? • Are these skills teachable and learnable? • Will the skills enhance learning in the classroom? To what degree might enhanced 21st century skills contribute to adaptiveness of graduate students to the workforce?
