The 21st Century

Classroom…

The 21st Century Classroom…

Doesn't just focus on "what“ students learn, it focuses more on "how"

students learn best...


Knows the difference between something that is hard, and something that is

rigorous...


Makes learning both relevant and meaningful...


Recognizes we're preparing our students for a world that doesn't yet exist

using technology that hasn't yet been invented to solve problems we haven't

even thought of...


Embraces the notion that education should be done "with" our students,

rather than "to" our students...


Provides opportunities for students to explore, discover, create & experience

failure...


Accepts that the world is a playground for learners, and learning can no

longer be contained to the four walls of a classroom...


Understands that you can't be "data-driven" unless you actually make

adjustments and modifications to your instructional practices as a result of

that data...

The 21st Century Classroom Review…

Know How your Students Learn

Know the difference between hard and rigorous assignments

Keep your content Relevant and Meaningful

Remember we are preparing students for a future that we have no idea what

will be required of them.

Education is something that happens with students not to them.

Failure is an experience.

Real learning doesn’t occur in a classroom

Gather data, analyze it, make assessments from it and take action.
