DEVELOPING 21ST CENTURY COMPETENCIES FOR ALL STUDENTS<br />
Presenter: Alexis Menton, Executive Director, Program Development, Asia Society Center for Global Education, USA<br />
Chair: Anthony Mackay, Co-Chair GELP<br />
A commitment to developing 21 st century competencies is found in mission statements of many schools across the globe and in education<br />
policy statements worldwide. These competencies, however, are rarely intentionally and systematically integrated into primary and secondary<br />
education. This workshop will share lessons learned from a Working Group of city education systems that share successes and explore<br />
challenges on the development of 21 st century competencies for all students. Participants will explore how 21 st century competencies can<br />
become an integrated part of the education system; what integration of 21 st century competencies looks like at system and the school level and<br />
immediate next steps for your work.<br />
