SIGTE Forum: Assessing 21st Century Skills--Next Steps

REGISTRATION REQUIRED
Mike Charles, Pacific University with Kyle Peck
Tuesday, 7/1/2008, 10:30am–12:30pm; HGCC 217 D

Join moderators Kyle Peck and Mike Charles and our panel in a lively discussion of assessing 21st Century Skills. Two years ago SIGTE sent a resolution to the ISTE Board calling for the development of a collaborative effort designed to create viable methods of assessing of higher order learning outcomes, and the higher-order skills required by independent, lifelong learners. In response to that call, the 21st Century Skills project began in April 2008.

We believe that the advancement of education is impeded by the absence of a shared set of tools with which teachers and others can quickly, easily, and reliably assess the development of a set of attributes and abilities that are so important to success in the future they have come to be known as "21st Century Skills." Without the ability to measure these abilities, the focus of education will remain limited to the acquisition of basic skills and content knowledge, and other critical abilities will remain in the background.

In this year’s SIGTE Forum, we ask a number of panelists from the project to “dream out loud” about what might better assessment of 21st Century skills looks like? Specifically we are asking them to describe their vision for what this better assessment might look like in the everyday lives of teachers and students. Join us for lunch and a great conversation.
