ABSTRACT
The American Association of Colleges of Teacher Education (AACTE 2010) has created a blueprint for what education should look like in the twenty-first century. They argue that educators must be able to prepare their students for a dynamic, changing, and global world. The authors explain:
Whether a high school graduate plans to enter the workforce directly, or attend a vocational school, community college, or university, it is a requirement to be able to think critically, solve problems, communicate, collaborate, find good information quickly, and use technology effectively. These are today’s survival skills – not only for career success, but for personal and civic quality of life as well.
