Brookings: A New Path to Education Reform: The Next Chapter on 21st Century Skills (Webcast)

January 13, 2021 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

Brookings is hosting a webcast on A New Path to Education Reform: The Next Chapter on 21st Century Skills on Wednesday, January 13th, from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM.

The “factory model” of education dominates the majority of American classrooms. Teachers are pressured to improve students’ reading and math scores on standardized tests, but assessments show that scores have remained mostly unchanged since the early 2000s. This model emerged in the early 20th century to mold students for the industrial economy but is not preparing students to thrive in the 21st century or addressing systemic inequalities. The narrow focus on content outcomes—rather than on the ability to critically think through a problem and apply new knowledge systemically—is insufficient, raising a critical question: What can replace it to provide all students with quality education in the 21st century?
