This study will delve into what beliefs administrators and content teachers harbor
about implementing a 21st century educational program in a public school setting. When
compared to the existing 21st century educational frameworks, this study will show if
there is any discrepancy between the vision’s intended purpose and the actual
interpretation of the vision by the staff. This will help with the future training of
administrators and educators to be better equipped with the competencies needed to
facilitate the integration of a 21st century education framework and skills into daily
instruction. This study’s findings will also contribute to the limited amount of literature
of implementing a framework for 21st century skills in a public school system. The
researcher will explore the major elements of a 21st century learning context, which
include rigorous instruction, relevance in learning and the integration of technology in the
learning process. Ultimately, this study will highlight what 21st century educational
practices have been incorporated in a high school setting as part of its reform process.
