"We recently discovered the Bay Area’s Prospect Sierra School’s interesting learning model that prioritizes 6 ideas for learning in the 21st century. There is, of course, no single “best” way to pursue “21st century learning”–nor any learning at all for that matter. But seeing the way other inspired educators pursue the idea can teach each one of us a lot. In this model, we appreciate the inclusion of self-knowledge, as well as moving past the idea of content to true disciplinary knowledge–seeing knowledge in context and application."
This post shares another visual that provides one model of learning in the 21st century. Specifically, it prioritizes six ideas:
* Disciplinary Knowledge - "Build and apply content knowledge to think deeply and act as a practitioner of the discipline"
* Self-Knowledge - "Experiment and create, while embracing failure as an opportunity for growth in order to design new ideas and solutions."
* Innovation Creation - "Recognize one’s emotional, physical, and learning needs, strengths, and challenges to nurture personal growth and resilience"
* Collaboration - "Share knowledge and resources, building on a diversity of ideas and experiences to achieve group goals and interdependence"
* Responsibility - "Understand one’s impact and influence in a local and global community; cultivate compassion, and take positive action"
* Communication - "Express ideas effectively through varied means of presentation; understand one’s audiences, actively listen; and build connection"
Additional information on each of these six ideas is included in the post.
