NSTA and the Partnership for 21st Century Skills Create Framework for Integrating 21st Century Skills into Science Curriculum
NSTA and the Partnership for 21st Century Skills released the 21st Century Skills and Science Map this week at the National Education Computing Conference (NECC). The map provides educators with teacher-created models of how 21st century skills can be infused into classroom instruction and highlights the critical connections between science and specific core skills such as critical thinking, problem solving and communication. “The 21st Century Skills and Science map, which includes examples taken directly from science classrooms, represents a tool for teachers and students as they move toward a 21st century education system,” said Dr. Francis Eberle, executive director of the National Science Teachers Association. “Through a combination of rigorous coursework and the application of skills such as communication, collaboration and innovation, science courses come alive and better engage students. In turn, students will enjoy learning more and achieve a higher level of excellence.”
