Students in the 21st Century

As we end the first decade of the 21st century and welcome the new year, I am thinking about the following question: How will our students be prepared for a rapidly changing world filled with fantastic new problems as well asexciting new possibilities?

A few weeks ago on the front page of the New York Times there was an article about how today¡¯s students are growing up in a world of always on connections, to each other and the web. The article showcased students who send thousands of text messages a month, stay up very late because they are on Facebook, avoid their homework, and others who find their true passion because of technology.

Technically it is the 21st century and most of our students have embraced the technology available to them; however our schools are not there, and our challenge now is to reinvent the schools for the 21st century so that our students have the necessary skills to be successful in an increasingly diverse, globalized and interconnected world. As a parent, teacher, and now as high school principal, I have always tried to encourage today¡¯s kids to acquire the necessary skills to reach their potential and discover their passion.

So what are 21st century skills? What are the skills that our kids need in order to be successful and how can parents, teachers and schools encourage our kids to obtain these skills?

According to The Partnership for the 21st Century Skills, a national organization that advocates for 21st century readiness for every student, there are set of skills that will be essential for all students. In additionto learning the core subjects in Math, Science and Humanities, the following Learning and Innovation Skills are going to be important: Creativity and Innovation, Critical Thinking and Problem Solving, Communication and Collaboration.

Additionally, because today¡¯s students are digital learnerswhose entire lives have been immersed in the 21st century media culture, they must possess Information, Media, and Technology Literacy. Finally, to prepare students to navigate the complex life and work environments in the globally competitive information age, students must develop Life and Career Skills.

Since I started teaching twenty-five years ago, I always tried to emphasize the 21st century skills to my students as well as to my own two children. Because teaching and learning is no longer textbook-driven, we have to engage students in addressing real-world problems that allow them to be creative and critical thinking.

Also, we have to encourage our students to collaborate with others and to develop effective communication skills. Throughout my teaching career, I have seen many bright students who are very good at getting As on tests; however, when it comes to working with other students and problem-solving, I would give them a failing grade.

Of course teachers and schools must teach these important skills; however, because parents are children¡¯s first and most important teachers, there are a number of things that parents can do to make sure their children are prepared for the 21st century. 


 

 

- Encourage your child to take as many math and science courses in school as possible. Also, encourage your child to take college level (AP or IB) and foreign language classes. Every student should takethe most rigorous and challenging courses available to them in schools. 

 

- Provide opportunities for studentsto develop communication and collaboration skills. Some of the most important forms of learning and problem solving occur in group settings. Therefore, encourage your child to volunteer or work in organized groups where they can develop important interpersonal skills.

 

- We are raising our kids in a digital world of Facebook, Twitter, and Web 2.0 tools that enable them to connect, collaborate, create, and engage in learning that will help them be successful in an interconnected global society. As parents, we have to encourage our children to acquire this information and technology literacy so that they can become global citizens. 

 

- Encourage your child todevelop adequate life and careerskills such as flexibility, adaptability, initiative, productivity, accountability, leadership, and responsibility.

 

As we look forward to the new year, parents and teachers must work in partnership to prepare students to be successful in a challenging globally competitive work environment of the 21st century.
