21st Century Readiness for Every Student

In this keynote session (from the October 11, 2010, 21st Century Skills Institute in Rosemont, Illinois), Ken Kay argues that 21st century education must be rooted in knowledge and skills that ensure readiness for every student. He explains the importance of fusing the three Rs—reading, writing, and arithmetic—with the four Cs—critical thinking and problem solving, communication, collaboration, and creativity and innovation. Providing examples of successful districts and models, he outlines the need for local, state, and federal leaders to create polices that support this approach for every school.

This package includes a 67-minute DVD with the video session and a CD-ROM with materials to support team or individual professional learning, including the presenter’s PowerPoint, an excerpt from the book 21st Century Learning, and relevant web links.
