The Partnership for the 21st Century website contains a framework that describes the skills and knowledge that students need to make it in the 21st Century work force and in life. At first, I had a little difficulty navigating the website. I felt like at first glance, it was a little too busy. However, as I began to explore the site some more, I found it rather interesting. I agree with what the site had to say.The most surprising thing to me about the site is that very few states have taken the initiative in the partnership. My state of SC is one that did not. This leads to question as to whether we are really preparing the youth of America for life and work in the 21st century.
From the information that I read on the site, I did not find anything that I disagree with. The ideas are good. The implementation of them in the classroom could possibly be a problem considering the lack of resources and funds.
The website gave information that is very helpful to me as an educator. Assessment ideas were also listed. The website reiterated the idea that we need to prepare our students for the future as they are faced with competing with a global market. By looking at the partnership, I am able to gain access to new innovations and ideas in order to gear my students into the right direction.
