A 21st century education is one that responds to the economical, technological, and societal shifts that
are happening at an ever-increasing pace. It’s an education that sets children up to succeed in a world
where more than half of the jobs they’ll have over their careers don’t even exist yet. In short, it’s an
education that provides students with the skills and competencies they need to thrive in the 21st
century.
