21st Century Curriculum

For an overview of education in the 21st century please read our always evolving essay, What is 21st Century Education?  Curriculum design at 21st Century Schools is focused on bringing your classrooms into alignment with life in the new millennium.  We design (and conduct professional development on how to design) what are commonly known as "units";  we prefer to use the term frameworks.  They are created with a built-in flexibility that allows them to be adapted to the needs and interests of your students, teachers and community.  There are several sample units below.
