"The end in mind can be firmly established while using our marvelous GPS technology.  There is time for the learner to make specific course corrections using the descriptive feedback provided through various formative assessment strategies. Likewise, highly effective teachers use formative assessment to change course directions while there is time to make it happen. While keeping the end in mind, such as an end of unit test, highly effective teachers formatively assess and help students close the gap in their learning before they arrive at the final destination."

Ohio State Board of Education Vision: 21st Century Skills

 Check out this site for a top 10 list of 21st century skills needed by students PK-12 students and created by the state of Ohio (2009). Also the TED video clip (on the same web page, to the right) is on math but the theme can be applied to all content areas.

Comment on any of these questions
and if something else “comes to your mind,” comment on that too:
1.      What would be your top 3 priorities on this list and why?
(The list is not ranked in any order currently)

2.      Did you already know about the 21st century skills list created by Ohio?  What does it make you think about regarding classroom instruction now that you know?

3.      How will administrators, teachers, parents and community/business (all stakeholders) need to collaborate in order to achieve these goals?
