UNDERSTAND THE SHIFT
IN LITERACY DEMANDS


21st Century Literacies Definition

 In order to thrive in an increasingly
interdependent, global society, students
need to acquire the full range of 21st
century literacies. As defined by NCTE,
21st century literacies are essential to
student achievement; they include the
ability to…


 Develop proficiency with the tools of technology

 Build relationships with others to pose and solve
problems collaboratively and cross-culturally
 Design and share information for global
communities to meet a variety of purposes
 Manage, analyze, and synthesize multiple streams
of simultaneous information
 Create, critique, analyze, and evaluate multi-media
texts
 Attend to the ethical responsibilities required by
these complex environments

“In the future, how we educate
our children may prove to be
more important than how much
we educate them.”

The World is Flat
Thomas Friedman
