Curriculum

It's 2012!  The year for global Innovation and Entrepreneurship, and it all starts in the classroom!

New workshops this year from 21st Century Schools . . .

Summer Institute in San Antonio

This year's Summer Institute offers a series of workshops which will prepare you to take your classroom, campus or district truly into the 21st century!  You will be ready to go when school opens again with some incredible curriculum, classroom strategies and resources - guaranteed to excite your students, increase their learning, develop 21st century skills, and (inadvertently) your students will easily conquer and surpass content standards!

Be sure to attend our newest workshop, Innovation and Entrepreneurship, premiering this summer at our Summer Institute in San Antonio, Texas!  This workshop is also available on-site, in the USA or abroad.

Our focus on environmental studies and student's use of multimedia will not change, but we are adding an entirely new dimension to 21st Century Schools.  The world is changing rapidly, and so must we, if we wish to maintain our status as the most cutting edge providers of curriculum and professional development.  We know how students learn, and we can assist your classroom, school, district, state or yes, even your entire country in making the step into the new millennium.  This focus will teach us how to teach others - not only our students, but our citizens - to become more innovative and entrepreneurial!

Coming Soon!  21st Century Schools International

2011 brought us so many wonderful opportunities to see the world, to meet and work with educators from many countries, and to develop our own personal Global Competencies.  Visit our blog to see where we've been!

21st Century Schools International will be a non-profit organization dedicated to assisting educators and students worldwide in designing and implementing authentic 21st century schools.  We will be posting specific criteria for your school to be recognized as a 21st Century School.  We will also have a directory of these schools which teachers and students can use to connect with and support each other, and where other educators can go to find out which schools are truly 21st century and where they are - we get asked for that information frequently.

This organization will also assist schools with finding resources, from curriculum to funding.

Food and Culture

 - a global, collaborative classrooms project!  All content standards - all grade levels - and for all countries!

Let your students learn with the world, not just about the world!

Please join our new Global, Collaborative Classrooms Project - Food and Culture.  It's not just for Family and Consumer Science - we are building in everything from environmental studies to financial literacy and economics, agriculture, health, history, cultural studies, geography, and much more.  This is a chance for your students to develop critical global competencies by studying with the world, not just about the world! 

Our goal with the Food and Culture Project is the same as the One Day on Earth Project - have at least one class from every country participating!  Please join us!
