21st Century Skills Series
Educational Insight speakers, Sandy Mers and Sally Summerfield explain how to incorporate 21st Century Skills into the core subject areas at the high school, middle school and elementary levels while focusing on opportunities to explore the multiple intelligences.
Are your students able to solve problems, collaborate, and create at the same time they are learning new information? Are you ready to tackle a new way of instructing so that lessons are infused with 21st century skills? Educational Insight has created a series of workshops to help school districts saturate their instruction with the 21st century skills as well as opportunities for the multiple intelligences using standards from a national perspective. In order to prepare our students for their future we now must blend academic instruction with skills for the 21st century. Our communities and workplaces require people able to utilize what they know and adapt those skills for what is needed. The series provides a multi-dimensional approach to incorporating 21st century skills in every classroom setting.
