Reframing Student Outcomes to Develop 21st Century Skills

This brief identifies three strategic practices to be taken collectively by schools, districts, and communities to mobilize around preparing students for college and career success:

• Collectively articulating and aligning a set of student outcomes that prioritize 21st century skills,
• Transforming defined outcomes into functioning frameworks for curriculum and instruction and  student support, and
• Measuring student mastery of outcomes through the implementation of authentic, performance-based assessment.
