Education is even more critical today, in the face of economic, environmental, and social challenges. Today's children can meet future challenges if their schooling and informal learning activities prepare them for adult roles as citizens, employees, managers, parents, volunteers, and entrepreneurs. To achieve their full potential as adults, young people need to develop a range of skills and knowledge that facilitate mastery and application of English, mathematics, and other school subjects. At the same time, business and political leaders are increasingly asking schools to develop skills such as problem solving, critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and self-management--often referred to as "21st century skills." "Education for Life and Work: Developing Transferable Knowledge and Skills in the 21st Century" describes this important set of key skills that increase deeper learning, college and career readiness, student-centered learning, and higher order thinking. These labels include both cognitive and non-cognitive skills--such as critical thinking, problem solving, collaboration, effective communication, motivation, persistence, and learning to learn. 21st century skills also include creativity, innovation, and ethics that are important to later success and may be developed in formal or informal learning environments. This report also describes how these skills relate to each other and to more traditional academic skills and content in the key disciplines of reading, mathematics, and science. "Education for Life and Work: Developing Transferable Knowledge and Skills in the 21st Century" summarizes the findings of the research that investigates the importance of such skills to success in education, work, and other areas of adult responsibility and that demonstrates the importance of developing these skills in K-16 education. In this report, features related to learning these skills are identified, which include teacher professional development, curriculum, assessment, after-school and out-of-school programs, and informal learning centers such as exhibits and museums... - While education has long contributed to national prosperity and stable families and communities, it is more critical than ever in the face of growing economic, social, and political challenges. To prepare young people to address these challenges, business and political leaders are increasingly asking schools to develop skills such as problem solving, critical thinking, and collaboration - often referred to as "21 century skills" or "deeper learning". This book clarifies the meaning of these terms, defining "deeper learning" as a process that allows a person to take knowledge and skills learned in one situation and apply them to new situations. The product of deeper learning is a blend of transferable knowledge and skills referred to as "21st century competencies." Without engaging in deeper learning and developing 21st century competencies, students cannot truly master content in a subject area. This report identifies teaching approaches that help students develop these competencies and explains how they are developed in the key disciplines of reading, mathematics, and science. It recommends systemwide changes - in teacher education, curricula, and assessment - to help the nation's K-12 students develop these transferable skills and knowledge.
