In West Virginia, as in many other school systems working their
way toward a 21st century model of teaching and learning, the
answer for educators and policymakers lies in incorporating both
a systematic approach and a spirit of innovation. They need to take
both small, achievable steps and some large leaps in the many components
of the education system and to measure progress as they
go, course correcting as they learn what works and what doesn’t and
celebrating their accomplishments along the way.
Many different roads are being traveled in the global movement
toward 21st century education systems, but some common
patterns and principles are starting to emerge. Looking at a variety
of worldwide reports of successful efforts to move toward a
21st century education system, such as the United Kingdom’s
“Harnessing Technology: Next Generation Learning 2008–14”2
and the Singapore “Teach Less, Learn More” Initiative,3
as well
as the work of the Partnership for 21st Century Skills, we see six
emerging principles that these initiatives all seem to share:
• Vision
• Coordination
• Offi cial policy
• Leadership
• Learning technology
• Teacher learning
