On 21st Century Education

For a bit of a departure from the numbers and specifications we have collectively been viewing, I took a moment to read some material on 21st Century Education.

The Center for Public Education produced this report that details some of the trends in 21st century learning. What I like about this document is that much of it is based on Core Knowledge which is an idea that I first read about from E.D. Hirsch.

The report details not just education trends but describes how they fit into occupational trends in a increasingly globalized world.

It's rather long but very informative. Happy reading.
