21st Century Skills at Traditional Schools

Dear Colleagues,

I am working on a project that considers how independent schools that
promise a "traditional" experience have positioned themselves relative
to the 21st century schools, skills, and values movement. Please
reply off list if you have observations on any of the following:

1. What tactics, programs, or policies labeled 'traditional' at your
school contribute most to 21st century success?
2. Have some curricular or pedagogical approaches once seen as a
strength required revision or enhancement in light of changes in
university expectations of our graduates and the economic climate our
alumni will live and work in?
3. How do your school's core values fit in the broader conversation
about 21st century skills?

Best wishes in 2010 to all!

Sincerely,

Chad Barnett
Headmaster
The Linsly School
