A teacher with 21st-century skills and tools is one who can integrate strong communication skills with manageable technology skills,” says Matthew Braun, a seventh-grade math teacher in the School District of Philadelphia. “[It’s] someone who can creatively problem solve both people- and equipment-related obstacles to learning. A teacher possessing 21st-century skills fearlessly seeks out methods and tools—technology—that will enhance not only their students’ learning—but their own personal growth as well.”
