21st Century Learners

“We currently have a 19th century curriculum, 20th century buildings, and 21st century learners.” (Bruce Wellman)
As digital natives (those born after 1980) are now the students in our schools, more and more countries are recognizing that we need to change the way we offer education, the way we encourage our children to learn, and the way we support that learning.  As parents, we are uniquely aware of how our kids learn and what they need for support.  It is critical that we continue to partner with schools, teachers, principals, and other parents to support our 21st century learners.
What skills and tools do you need as a parent to support your children in the current learning environment?
