Skills and Standards

 

Connection to P21 Skills 

The Partnership for 21st Century Skills was founded in 2002. It brought together the business community, education leaders, and policy makers to serve as a catalyst for preparing students for a global economy by combining mastery of core content (3Rs) with the skills students need (4Cs). Their Framework for 21st Century Learning illustrates the student outcomes and learning support systems.
