MILE Guide for 21st Century Skills
Nov 6th, 2009 | By amanchester | Category: Featured Post, Webnews
Nearly six years ago, the Partnership for 21st Century Skills released its signature toolkit, the MILE Guide for 21st Century Skills. Today, this toolkit has been revised and updated to reflect new realities and the P21 Framework for Education. November 6, 2009, we will be announcing the availability of this newly updated resource to the general public.
What is the MILE Guide?
This tool assists states, districts and schools in implementing and supporting 21st century skills initiatives through helping them:
Generate broad-based support for 21st century skills initiatives through step-by-step establishment of a compelling vision for 21st century teaching and learning.
Set benchmarks and goals with assessments to help administrators, teachers, and policy leaders to identify current progress on 21st century skills initiatives and define next steps.
Generate successful grant applications through identifying and prioritizing objectives as they seek funding via grants and other sources.
Ensure continuous progress through providing improvement rubrics to monitor activities and accomplishments.
Offering a variety of tools all designed to work together, the new MILE Guide includes:
Ø The MILE Guide Self-Assessment Tool – a visual mapping and self-assessment tool that allows districts to plot where they are today and set a course for future integration of 21st century skills into systems of learning.
Ø Implementation Guiding Recommendations –a set of district-relevant recommendations and promising practices to help local districts move from assessment of 21st century skills integration to concrete action.
Ø P21 Framework Definitions – the most up-to-date P21 Framework definitions that spell out expectations for 21st century student outcomes and the necessary support systems at the state and local levels.
All of the MILE Guide materials are available for download at the P21 website via this link. If you have any trouble downloading, please contact us.
Mark your calendar. We will be offering a MILE Guide Orientation Webinar for our State Partners and Strategic Council members on Monday, November 23, 2009, 2:00 PM Eastern Time. We look forward to talking with you then.
