Teaching for Tomorrow - Ch. 1

This might be the single most important discussion or idea in education today. The NCLB legislation is pushing our education system in the exact opposite direction. As NCLB adds more and more standards that have to be assessed the harder it is to teach 21st Century Skills. I also liked the term "school skills". That is a perfect word. It is an accurate portrayal of what students need to do to be successful in school and not necessarily in the world.
