The 21st Century Learner Needs a 21st Century Teacher

If we teach today's students, as we taught yesterday's, we rob them of tomorrow - John Dewey

"How we teach must reflect how our students learn, it must also reflect the world they will emerge into. This is a world that is rapidly changing, connected, adapting and evolving. Our style and approach to teaching must emphasize the learning in the 21st century." - Source

  2. A growing number of business leaders, politicians, and educators are united around the idea that students need "21st century skills" to be successful today. It's exciting to believe that we live in times that are so revolutionary that they demand new and different abilities.
