21st Century Teaching, Learning, and Leading21st Century Skills Reflection and Evaluation Rubrics21st Century Skills21st century skills are the skills that students need to develop in order to live, learn, and thrive in a 21st century environment and to succeed incollege and careers. Content knowledge and the 21st century skills combine to create the 21st century learner outcomes. The learner outcomesprovide what is to be learned and demonstrated. DoDEA’s 21st century skills were adapted from Tony Wagner’s Seven Survival Skills. Thegraphic below shows how the 21st century skills and the content standards work together. The 21st century skills are taught through thestandards. Whether educators use the DoDEA content standards or the Common Core State Standards, content and skills together create the21st century learner outcomes.Initiative andEntrepreneurialismAgility andAdaptabilityAccessing andAnalyzingInformationCollaboration andLeadershipCritical Thinkingand ProblemSolvingDoDEA 21 Teach, Learn, LeadEffective Oral uriosity andImagination1
21st Century Teaching, Learning, and Leading21st Century Skills Reflection and Evaluation RubricsCritical Thinking and Problem SolvingCritical Thinking and Problem Solving is a habit of mind characterized by the comprehensive exploration of issues, ideas, artifacts, and events aswell as applying knowledge and skills in practical ways to solve real world problems.Initiative and EntrepreneurshipInitiative and Entrepreneurship denote creative, inventive and resourceful ways individuals use to solve problems, search out, and strive for newinnovations.Effective Oral and Written CommunicationOral communication is a prepared, purposeful presentation designed to increase knowledge, to foster understanding, or to promote change inthe listeners' attitudes, values, beliefs, or behaviors. Written communication is the development and expression of ideas in writing. Writtencommunication involves learning to work in many genres and styles. It can involve working with many different writing technologies, and mixingtexts, data, and images. Written communication abilities develop through iterative experiences across the curriculum.Collaboration across Networks and Leading by InfluenceCollaboration across networks is the ability to work together with diverse groups to facilitate the exchange of ideas to achieve a goal, makedecisions, and solve problems. Leading with influence is the ability to generate results collaboratively, in a variety of contexts without directauthority.Agility and AdaptabilityAgility and adaptability is being able to constantly adjust to changing demands by using a variety of tools to solve complex problems withresponsiveness and flexibility. Handling disruption, rapid transformation, and reorganization of information is necessary for 21st centurylearning: “Learning to be comfortable with being uncomfortable”.Accessing and Analyzing InformationAccessing and analyzing information is the ability to know when there is a need for information and how to identify, locate, evaluate andeffectively use that information for solving problems.Curiosity and ImaginationCuriosity and imagination is the capacity to synthesize existing ideas and to work creatively in ways characterized by innovation and divergentthinking.DoDEA 21 Teach, Learn, Lead2
21st Century Teaching, Learning, and Leading21st Century Skills Reflection and Evaluation RubricsReflection and EvaluationOnce the learner outcomes and the 21st century skills are established, they move to the Reflection and Evaluation section of the learning cycle.The learner(s) reflect on what they know by using the Reflection rubrics (teachers and students) or self-assessment tools (leaders).The Reflection and Evaluation RubricsThere are seven rubrics that align with the seven 21st century skills. (See below)The seven Reflection and Evaluation rubrics are designed for teachers and their students to use at the beginning of a lesson design and again atthe end of the lesson cycle to evaluate the progress of learners after applying the 21st century skills to their work. Each rubric supports thegrowth of a student-centered classroom where students become more engaged in the learning process and can apply the learner outcomes(knowledge and skills) to the real world. The reflection section drives the educator’s decision for instructional practice professional learning andselection. The goal is to move from the entry level of development of the skills to the ideal/target level for both teachers and students.Copyright:Rubrics adapted from Bionic TeachingLink: http://bionicteaching.com/?p 1129DoDEA 21 Teach, Learn, Lead3
