21st Century Skills

Skills map for the arts in the 21st century

I’ve written about the Partnership for 21st century skills but at this time when teachers are searching to create courses for students to meet the proficiency requirement according to LD 1422, this site bears repeating. It has 21st century skills maps for each content including the arts. If you go to this link http://www.p21.org/tools-and-resources/educators you can download the map. And the home page of the Partnership is located at http://www.p21.org/.

Check out this YouTube to provide you ‘food for thought’.
