Learn how to design and embed 21st Century Learning Skills into your classroom practice!

What does it mean to truly integrate ‘collaboration, knowledge construction, self-regulation, real world problem solving and innovation, the use of ITC for learning and skilled communication skills into your classroom practice?

Use 21st Century Learning Design (21CLD) rubrics, which link very closely to our NZC Key Competencies, to provide a research-based methodology which will help you identify how to evolve your lesson plans and learning activities to build and assess your students' 21st century skills.

This 21st Century Learning Design workshop, sponsored by HP, is highly interactive and learner-centered where educators work together to learn how to:

• Analyse and 'code' learning activities/lessons and unit plans, to see how deeply they integrate 21st century skills
• Collaborate in designing new learning activities that provide deeper 21st century skills development
• Examine the impact of these learning activities on students' work
• Use ICT as part of the learning process

This workshop helps educators critically reflect on their practice and become active and engaged knowledge-builders who adopt, model and utilise the skills they wish to instil in their students, in alignment with 'teaching as inquiry'.

The workshop is best suited to educators ranging from primary, through secondary and tertiary, as well as for teachers in training.
