Educators to Obama: Focus on 21C skills

A newly released survey of educators suggests 21st-century skills should be the top priority for Obama's education reform plan. As President-elect Barack Obama prepares to take office, his education reform plan has the potential to modernize library technologies, make school buildings more energy-efficient, and invest in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education and research. Yet, according to a recent survey, educators say addressing 21st-century (21C) skills should top the list of priorities in Obama's plan, so students are prepared for the workplace of tomorrow.
