21st Century Schools

Silvia Rosenthal Tolisano

The document discusses the need to prepare students for the 21st century by upgrading school curriculum and models based on emerging trends. It advocates replacing existing practices, not just adding on to existing models. The upgraded model would focus on skills like collaboration, conducting research, and being contributors to society by having new student roles like researchers, tutorial designers, and collaborators. Assessment would shift from external evaluation to self-assessment. The document argues that the focus should be on the skills needed for students' future, not just on tools, and that one unit of a curriculum can be used to illustrate how to shift thinking about transmitting knowledge to constructing meaning.

When our class Skyped with Silvia Rosenthal, she told us more information about the holocaust and WWII than a textbook would have told us.
