Implications to Educators
The advent of 21st Century skill enhancement among learners bring the
following implications to educators in:
1. successfully complementing technologies to content and pedagogy
and developing the ability to creatively use technologies to meet
specific learning needs
2. aligning instruction with standards, particularly those that embody
21st Century knowledge and skills
3. balancing direct instruction strategically with project oriented
teaching methods
4. applying child and adolescent development knowledge to educator
preparation and education policy
5. using a range of assessment strategies to evaluate student
performance and differentiate instruction (including but not limited
to formative, portfolio-based, curriculum embedded and summative)
Implications to Educators
6. participating actively in learning communities, tapping the
expertise within a school or school district through
coaching, mentoring, knowledge-sharing, and team teaching
7. acting as mentors and peer coaches with fellow educators
8. using a range of strategies (such as formative assessments)
to reach diverse students and to create environments that
support differentiated teaching and learning
9. pursuing continuous learning opportunities and embracing
