Twenty-first century learning, or the “21st Century Skills” movement, is a growing global movement to redefine the goals of education, transform how learning is practiced each day, and expand the range of measures in student achievement in order to meet the new demands of the 21st century. The Framework for 21st Century Learning has been developed to describe the skills, knowledge, and expertise students must master to succeed in work and life; it is a blend of content knowledge, specific skills, expertise and literacies. 20.
