The Latest Doomed Pedagogical Fad: 21st-Century Skills - washingtonpost.com

Diigo - Tue, 06/01/2009 - 11:21

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

Granted, the 21st-century skills idea has important business and political advocates, including President-elect Barack Obama. It calls for students to learn to think and work creatively and collaboratively.

A sentence from a report by the Tucson-based Partnership for 21st Century Skills illustrates the problem: "Every aspect of our education system -- preK-12, postsecondary and adult education, after-school and youth development, workforce development and training, and teacher preparation programs -- must be aligned to prepare citizens with the 21st century skills they need to compete." This is the all-at-once syndrome, a common failing of reform movements.

It takes hard work to teach this stuff, and even harder work, by poorly motivated adolescents, to learn it.

There might be a way to turn them around, but if there isn't, instead of engaged and inspired students, we will have just one more big waste of time.
