Time magazine Says: 21st Century Skills Need 21st Century Standards

I came across a blog that referenced this Time Magazine article: it was a fascinating look into the possible future of educational standards in America. Teaching students to think is only part of the solution; we also need to asses their thinking skills. The Time Magazine article emphasizes the need for universal "21st century standards" in American education. This is particularly exciting because of work we've been part of to create a pilot program designed to include thinking skills assessment on reports cards.
