The concept of 21st-century leadership is strongly based on the 21st-century learning framework developed by Battelle for Kids. The 21st-century terminology is often used interchangeably with STEM learning. But conceptually, they differ significantly. STEM is an approach to teaching that exposes young learners to innovative approaches to science, math, technology, engineering, and mathematics. It is necessary and addresses the rapid growth of our technology-focused era.  21st-century learning addresses the needs of young learners from a holistic perspective. It prepare ..read more

Every summer we see more and more families looking for summer camps, youth sports and an array of activities to keep their children engaged, growing, and learning. For some families, summer is a time to add enriching activities to their children’s lives that were not available during the school year. Summer camps with crafts and outdoor activities seem to be an American tradition that stretches back decades, if not close to a century.  Most Americans have vivid childhood memories of summer camps involving activities like amusement parks, archery, sports clinics, and animal husbandry.

In one of our previous blogs, we talked about several crucial skills in the 21st century that modern youth simply cannot do without. We based those ideas not just on their value to youth when it comes to building a career in the future, but also because of their inherent good value for young people on a journey of growth and development. In today’s post, we’re going to focus on one of those skills in particular, and that is leadership. What do we mean when we talk about students learning leadership skills? Why are these skills important? What is “Leadership”? In the context of education a ..read more

In today’s blog, we’re going to take a more in-depth look at why collaborating is an essential 21st-century skill that the youth can use to their eternal advantage. What is Collaboration as a Skill? The term ‘collaboration’ is certainly a lot less nebulous and abstract than things like “critical thinking.” It’s a word that we use in our everyday lives and have done for some time. It just means working together, doesn’t it? Yes, it ..read more

In a previous blog piece, we discussed the importance of various problem-solving and other things that form invaluable skill sets for young people in the 21st century. Among them was the skill of critical thinking, which now becomes the focus of today’s blog. Critical Thinking For 21st-Century Young People What is Critical Thinking? It’s a term that gets banded around a lot. What do we really mean when we talk about critical thinking? Is it just another educational or psychological buzz word? Let’s be clear about what exactly we are referring to when we talk about this topic. Critical thi ..read more

While much of the world has changed immeasurably in recent decades, certain aspects seem to remain fixed in their old mold. One of those things is traditional education, which still measures success on a very limited set of metrics that haven’t budged in at least half a century. If these metrics get us into our kids into their chosen colleges in the future, who are we to complain, right? While it’s true that the traditional education model continues to work (just about) for getting students enrolled into institutions of higher education, employers have a rather different perspective. In today ..read more
