About 170 invited participants and guests at The 21st Century Literacies Impact Conference will focus on how teaching and learning 21st century skills are embedded in and supported by teacher education, assessment, and professional development.
Ideas generated at the conference will jump-start collaborative efforts among invited educators and member organizations of the Partnership for 21st Century Skills to accelerate the pace of reform, particularly in three “high leverage” areas: teacher education, assessment, and ongoing professional development. (Bold added.)
