This paper argues of the need for museums to respond to global trends by investigating the potential of multiliteracies theory and pedagogy to facilitate learning. Drawing from a doctoral research, this paper will address: What sort of pedagogical approach and engagement with multiliteracies would empower museum visiting for learning 21st century skills?

"Driving Question: How early does equal access to 21st century learning start? Prior to this project, we thought of academics and 21st century skills as separate things. Following a linear approach, first students needed to master important literacy skills, and then we could enhance the learning with integrated projects like "Stray, Stray, Go Away." We even worried that maybe 21st century skills would distract from the foundational skill like learning to read. It was thought that one was more important that the other, and guess what? We were wrong." Via Beth Dichter, John Purificati

Author: Stephania Savva The core of this chapter reports on the development, implementation and evaluation of a theory based framework named Affinity Multiliteracies Practice (AMP) with the intention to provide an example of a teaching and learning approach to schooling that acknowledges students’ multiple and diverse identities, experiences and capabilities while also equipping them to become the flexible and dynamic learners required in the 21st century.

"To understand the extent to which the skills taught in education systems around the world are changing, and whether they meet the needs of employers and society more widely, Google commissioned research from The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU). The EIU surveyed senior business executives, teachers and students." Via Beth Dichter

Preparing our students with the necessary skills for post-secondary career and college is critical, but especially for our poverty students. Too often, school is the only venue to provide these thinking, collaboration, and problem solving skills. However, many poverty schools under the pressure of standardized testing are stuck in a remediation routine of filling gaps in content, reading, and math. We must provide time for teachers to collaborate and plan integrated lessons that integrate these higher level thinking skills into their content areas.

What skills do learners need today to be prepared to be a leader as they move through school and into careers? Google commissioned a study and this post provides a short video that discusses key findings as well as a link to the final report, Driving the Skills Agenda: Preparing Students for the Future. The Executive Summary provides a number of key findings, including the ones listed below. (The text below is quoted from the report.) * Problem solving, team working and communication are the skills that are currently most in demand in the workplace. * Education systems are not providing enough of the skills that students and the workplace need. * Some students are taking it into their own hands to make up for deficiencies within the education system. * Technology is changing teaching, but education systems are keeping up with the transformation rather than leading it. The full report provides additional information, including a number of visuals as well as case studies. As educators it is important that we consider the skills our learners will need in the future, and this report provides insight into some of what will be needed.

"Due to the interest of my post The Other 21st Skills, I decided to individually discuss each of the skills or dispositions I proposed that are in addition to the seven survival skills as identified by Tony Wagner. This post focuses on resiliency. The first post focused on Grit: The Other 21st Century Skills. Some would categorize Grit and Resiliency as the same skill, but it is my belief they are involve two different, but interconnected, skill sets. While grit focuses on persistence, resilience is about bouncing back in the face of challenges and/or failure."

Jackie Gerstein continues to discuss "the other 21st skills" addressing resilience in this post. As you read this post think about your students. Do you provide them with opportunities to grow these skills/dispositions? Research in this field shows that teachers make a difference. Below are a few of the points from the post. * All individuals have the power to transform and change * Teachers and schools have the power to transform lives * It’s how teachers do what they do that counts * Teachers’ beliefs in innate capacity start the change process As you read through this post think about your classroom, your students, and ask yourself if there are new ways you might help your students build their resiliency. As always additional information as well as links to resources are available by clicking through.

We must not forget that in order to accomplish the four Cs it takes timer and effort. One must not be afraid to try and try again if needed to succeed. |
