[CALIBK12] [CSLA Research Update] 21st century skills study

[Lesley Farmer]

Two-thirds of U.S. voters say 3R's no longer sufficientSome 66% of U.S.
voters say students need more than just reading, writing and
arithmetic, and about 88% believe students are ill-equipped in
critical-thinking, problem-solving and communication skills, according
to poll results released by the Partnership for 21st Century
Skills. "Voters generally are not happy with the direction our schools
are headed with respect to ensuring we have the skills to compete," the
report's authors said.http://www.21stcenturyskills.org/
