After reading Gardner’s book, Five Minds for the Future, and stumbling upon a blog posting by Diane Ravitch entitled “Partnership for 19th Century Skills“, it brought to my mind that there is something a little strange about labelling a set of desirable learnings “21st Century Skills”, or, for that matter, “minds for the future”.
One Response to “19th Century Skills?”
Good points. Perhaps the author has a longer memory than those who are creating curriculum. There is nothing new under the sun. The only change that we see is how we interphase with our world.
