21st Century Readiness for Every Student
Our country and our students are operating in an economy that prizes innovation. In an effort to prepare today's children for tomorrow's world, the Partnership for 21st Century Skills, and its members like Verizon, provide tools and resources that fuse the three Rs and the four Cs (critical thinking and problem solving, communication, collaboration, and creativity and innovation). These tools and resources are reflected in P21's Framework for 21st Century Learning – a holistic view of 21st century teaching and learning, so that our students can meet the challenges of the modern age.
