1 A Global Learning Community Watauga High School 2010 Empowering 21 st Century Citizenship

2 INTEGRATED OUTCOMES FOR STUDENTS What are the skills, knowledge and expertise students should master to succeed in work and life? Core Subjects & 21st Century Themes Core subjects include English, reading or language arts, world languages, arts, mathematics, economics, science, geography, history, government and civics. We believe schools must move beyond a focus on basic competency in core subjects to promoting understanding of academic content at much higher levels by weaving 21st century interdisciplinary themes into core subjects: Global Awareness Financial, Economic, Business and Entrepreneurial Literacy Civic Literacy Health Literacy

3 INTEGRATED OUTCOMES FOR STUDENTS What are the skills, knowledge and expertise students should master to succeed in work and life? Learning and Innovation Skills Learning and innovation skills are what separate students who are prepared for increasingly complex life and work environments in the 21st century and those who are not. They include: Creativity and Innovation Critical Thinking and Problem Solving Communication and Collaboration

4 INTEGRATED OUTCOMES FOR STUDENTS What are the skills, knowledge and expertise students should master to succeed in work and life? Information, Media and Technology Skills People in the 21st century live in a technology and media-driven environment, marked by access to an abundance of information, rapid changes in technology tools and the ability to collaborate and make individual contributions on an unprecedented scale. To be effective in the 21st century, citizens and workers must be able to exhibit a range of functional and critical thinking skills, such as: Information Literacy Media Literacy ICT (Information, Communications and Technology) Literacy

5 INTEGRATED OUTCOMES FOR STUDENTS What are the skills, knowledge and expertise students should master to succeed in work and life? Life and Career Skills Today’s life and work environments require far more than thinking skills and content knowledge. The ability to navigate the complex life and work environments in the globally competitive information age requires students to pay rigorous attention to developing adequate life and career skills, such as: Flexibility and Adaptability Initiative and Self-Direction Social and Cross-Cultural Skills Productivity and Accountability Leadership and Responsibility
