Description
What skills and attributes will allow young people to succeed in the new global economy?
This volume addresses the question by examining the topic of twenty-first century learning.
Twenty-first century learning frames an increasingly relevant and vital national conversation about what young people need in order to achieve: critical thinking, problem-solving, innovation, and communication skills.
The chapters in this volume provide a broad scope of perspectives - from business leaders, educators, researchers, youth workers, and students - on the need, opportunity, application, and outcomes of twenty-first century learning.
The twenty-first century calls us to reimagine the learning day-building partnerships that engage schools, after-school programs, businesses, and community-based organizations - and to embrace both traditional academic basics as well as small-group and project-based learning.
This volume provides the most comprehensive review to date of this important topic.
This is the 110th issue of New Directions for Youth Development, a quarterly journal published by Jossey-Bass.
