21st Century Support Systems
Developing a comprehensive framework for 21st century learning requires more than identifying specific skills, content knowledge,
expertise and literacies. An innovative support system must be created to help students master the multi- dimensional abilities
required of them in the 21st century. The Partnership has identified five critical support systems that ensure student mastery of
21st century skills:
21st Century Standards
Assessment of 21st Century Skills
21st Century Curriculum and Instruction
21st Century Professional Development
21st Century Learning Environments
