  From the current partnership organization: https://www.battelleforkids.org/networks/p21/frameworks-resources "P21's Frameworks for 21st Century Learning were developed with input from teachers, education experts, and business leaders to define and illustrate the skills and knowledge students need to succeed in work and life, as well as the support systems necessary for 21st century learning outcomes. They have been used by thousands of educators and hundreds of schools in the U.S. and abroad to put 21st century skills at the center of learning" The P21 organization joined with the Battelle for Kids non-profit advocacy group to continue to support the framework which encourages use of the 4Cs in teaching and learning: Collaboration Communication Critical Thinking Creativity Read through the brief overview of the Framework for 21st Century Learning noting what you find: Interesting Perplexing Useful for your current and future classroom SOURCE: (http://static.battelleforkids.org/documents/p21/P21_Framework_Brief.pdf)

  
  
• ISTE Standards for Teachers and Students

From the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) website (quoted directly): Our vision ISTE’s vision is that all educators are empowered to harness technology to accelerate innovation in teaching and learning, and inspire learners to reach their greatest potential. Our mission ISTE inspires educators worldwide to use technology to innovate teaching and learning, accelerate good practice and solve tough problems in education by providing community, knowledge and the ISTE Standards, a framework for rethinking education and empowering learners."

ISTE is the recognized leader in technology in education and the professional organization most referred to when educators seek information about the use of technology by teachers, students, and school leaders. This includes tech standards which they have developed since 1998 and revise every nine years to reflect the changes in technology and also the most current thinking about technology in K-12 education.
