College- and Career-Ready Graduates Need More From Teachers, Classrooms, and Schools
21世紀に必須なスキルを教えるには学校や教師変わらないと行けない。アメリカのエリート大学は着々と教育改革が進んでいるが、日本は道徳科目、しかもそれを点数化すると言う戦前に逆戻り。道徳教育が必須なのは大人、まず手始めに政治家から始めよう。

必須のスキル
Wagner describes visiting some of the nation's most highly regarded suburban schools, as well as "interviewing leaders in settings from Apple to Unilever to the U.S. Army, and reviewing research on workplace skills." Based on his findings, he calls for students to master seven specific skills to be successful in the 21st century. Five of these essential skills--critical thinking and problem solving, collaboration and leadership, effective oral and written communication, curiosity and imagination, and agility and adaptability--are almost identical to Envision's own deeper learning student outcomes.

その方法はproject-based learning
It is important to remember that project-based learning is a means to an end and not an end in itself. In project-based learning, student work is based on real-world situations and dilemmas, and on finding real-world solutions and responses. This is how teaching is shaped by what students need: In Envision classrooms, teachers use project-based learning to both engage students in challenging academic content and create opportunities for them to practice and master 21st century skills. For us, rigor is present not when students pass AP exams or cover a lot of ground, but when they can show both what they know and what they can do.
