New resources from the Partnership
Today, the Partnership for 21st Century Skills, launched Route 21, a resource kit that:
showcases how 21st century skills can be supported through standards, assessments, professional development, curriculum and instruction and learning environments. The site represents the first comprehensive, go-to online resource for high-quality content, best practices, relevant reports, articles and research to assist practitioners in implementing 21st century teaching practices and learning outcomes.
The Partnership’s rainbow framework defines three areas of critical 21st century skills: life and career skills; learning and innovation skills; and information, media, and technology skills, around necessary core content knowledge. Underneath the rainbow’s arches are support systems: standards and assessments, curriculum and instruction, professional development, learning environments.
The new site features videos, a white paper, 466 resources browsable by support system, skill, or content. Materials may be tagged, ranked, shared, commented on, and organized 2.0-style. The hope is that users will add to existing resources and build a dynamic portal.

If we all share our best new strategies, this could be a major sandbox for discovery. I look forward to exploiting and contributing.
