21st Century Learning
From the English Language Arts IRP:
“Learning is both an individual and a group process.”
Key Elements in successful programs for improving literacy achievement in middle and high schools (Biancarosa & Snow, 2004, pp. 16-21):
- Motivation and self-directed learning. Building students’ choice into instruction helps keep students engaged.
- Text-based collaborative learning. When students work in small groups they should interact with each other around a text or texts.
- A technology component. Technology should be used both as an instructional tool and an instructional topic.
The Purpose of Education...
“The new education must teach the individual how to classify and reclassify information, how to evaluate its veracity, how to change categories when necessary, how to move from the concrete to the abstract and back, how to look at problems from a new direction - how to teach himself. Tomorrow’s illiterate will not be the man who can’t read; he will be the man who has not learned how to learn.” (Herbert Gerjouy as quoted by Alvin Toffler in “Future Shock, 1970, p. 414)
“The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn..." ( Alvin Toffler, 1970)
