The following terms are critical to the understanding and implementation of each recommendation.
21st century instruction: Ensure that students have real-world opportunities to synthesize, apply and demonstrate their mastery of key concepts and 21st century skills. These are the skills students need to succeed in work, school and life. They include:
- Core subjects (as defined by NCLB)
- 21st century content: global awareness, financial, economic, business and entrepreneurial literacy, civic literacy and health and wellness awareness
- Learning and thinking skills: critical thinking and problem solving skills, communications skills, creativity and innovation skills, collaboration skills, contextual learning skills and information and media literacy skills
- Information and communications technology literacy
- Life skills: leadership, ethics, accountability, adaptability, personal productivity, personal responsibility, people skills, self-direction and social responsibility http://www.p21.org/storage/documents/p21-stateimp_curriculuminstruction.pdf
1:1 learning environment:
Academic rigor: Instruction that promotes learners to think critically, creatively, and more flexibly.
Adaptive /Non-Adaptive:
Asynchronous: instruction: and learning that do not occur in the same place or at the same time. The term is most commonly applied to various forms of digital and online learning in which students learn from instruction—such as prerecorded video lessons or game-based learning tasks that students complete on their own—that is not being delivered in person or in real time http://edglossary.org/asynchronous-learning/
Change Management
Competency-based Progression: Transitioning away from seat time, in favor of a structure that creates flexibility, allows students to progress as they demonstrate mastery of academic content, regardless of time, place, or pace of learning. Competency-based strategies provide flexibility in the way that credit can be earned or awarded, and provide students with personalized learning opportunities. These strategies include online and blended learning, dual enrollment and early college high schools, project-based and community-based learning, and credit recovery, among others. This type of learning leads to better student engagement because the content is relevant to each student and tailored to their unique needs. It also leads to better student outcomes because the pace of learning is customized to each student. http://www.ed.gov/oii-news/competency-based-learning-or-personalized-learning
