A high school level, school-wide, cross-curricular PBL project that allows students to increase their depth of knowledge of academic and 21st Century Skills by designing, building, and refining a product or service that will help people better prepare for, respond to, or recover from natural disasters.

This is a Proposed Schema for 21st Century Skills Flexible Learning ApproachTECHFLIPS Model: Empowering 21st Century Learners on Unleashing Creativity through Flipped Learning was created with the agenda to bring light in using a Flipped Classroom Approach in delivering lessons in the New Normal. This model considers the goal of attaining the learning outcomes presented and overall student learning achievement.

The "Transforming Assessment" model utilizes technology and flexible teaching strategies to foster collaboration, a crucial 21st-century skill. By incorporating theories such as Social Constructivism and implementing self-paced learning, technology tools/apps/sites, and Open Educational Resources (OERs), the model promotes personalized learning experiences and equips students with the skills needed for effective collaboration.

Add the General description for teachers to see.  And resource added in the "Add Resource" will be for the teacher only.

Authors: Daniel Schunk, Eva Berger, Henning Hermes, Kirsten Winkel, and Ernst Fehr.  In 2022, we published a study on teaching self-regulation to primary school children in Nature Human Behavior. By publishing the materials developed for our study as an OER, we hope to contribute to open science policy and to promote  the transfer between research and school practice.  

This unit is designed to help eighth grade students build a working definition of identity, first by exploring their own identities. Deepening awareness of identity, students will identify different internal and external characteristics to heighten their understanding. This is intended to be a simple way to parse the complex topic of identity. For many students, family and cultural expectations have already predetermined their future. Depending on the structure of their family, these expectations may be based on outdated traditions that may need to be abandoned because they are a mismatch for young generations. Therefore, the priority goal for this unit is to fuel the next generation to maintain and establish expectations that best suit them. Instead of losing their sense of self, in an effort to satisfy and please their family, students will learn self-advocacy.

At the core of the curriculum and educational mission of King Robinson Interdistrict Magnet: An International Baccalaureate STEM School are certain ubiquitous goals which drive all aspects of this unit. Among these goals is to integrate units and individual lessons with the two magnet themes. When done successfully, students become empowered to be responsible, productive and engaged 21st-century global citizens, who are respectful, open-minded, and reflective students with positive attitudes. Through inquiry-based learning, students will use their skills to take actions that lead to positive contributions to the world.

Unit and Task Pacing Guide: This unit is designed for six to eight weeks of instruction. The outline follows forty-five minutes of instruction that is systematic, explicit, and structured for five consecutive days each week.

This activity finds you hungry and thirsty, with money in your pocket for the vending machines. First, you must determine which machines take coins or bills. Then, you must use appropriate bills or coins to make and pay for a selection. But please don't shake the machine if your selection becomes lodged in the window—your computer can't take the abuse!

"Web Search Strategies" introduces the best ways to use search engines to find information on the web. The video uses real-world examples that illustrate ways to reduce useless results

In this problem-based, blended learning mondule, students will investigate what is the single - most defining trait that makes  us human? Is it our highly developed speech, our imagination, creativity, or our upright walking posture?  Humans have mastered fire, developed tools, art, music, recorded our history, and accomplished a countless number of other things. In this module, students will explore genetics concepts regarding inheritance, natural selection, biology of the human brain, and our hominid evolution over the last two hundred thousand years. Students will utilize guided research, and independent work to formulate an argumentative essay, and substantiating their claim with evidence from their research. When the argumentative essay is completed, students will create a project from a choice board that demonstrates their understanding of one of the concepts of our humanity.

This problem-based learning module is students will be collecting their personal health numbers in a station rotation format.  After choosing their health numbers to compare, the students will create a scatter plot and line of best fit using class data. Students will do a gallery walk to compare their health numbers with their peers. The students will then create a presentation for a health fair to bring awareness to health numbers based on their personal findings and facts.

In this problem-based learning module students will connect these standards to their personal life by completing a random sample from their environment in the area of careers to investigate to see if their own career is environmentally challenged.  Students will work independently as well as with a partner. Students will also complete a reflection in the form of a final product to make an inference and draw a conclusion about the population of their area in relation to careers.  The final product will be presented to their peers and teachers, but also can be exhibited to their families.    This blended module includes teacher-led instruction, student-led stations, partner comparisons and technology integrated investigations.

As technology continues to grow, so does access to data.  Teaching students methods to analyze this data, identify trends, and weed out useful information is a 21st century skill that is lacking in many classrooms. This lesson will help students tackle the world of Big Data through the use of basic commands in Python which allows them to complete a one-variable data analysis determining statistical summaries and  generate box plots, histograms and scatter plots.

In this problem-based learning module, students will raise awareness about the amount of excess food wasted each day in America’s schools highlights the consumptive mindset that our county has.  Each day in third world countries, as well as our own, children go without the proper nutrition needed to focus on other activities. This module will raise student awareness about the amount of food taken from the service line and then placed in waste receptacles.  Students will gather and analyze data regarding wasted food in an attempt to design a solution to reduce food waste. Sation rotation will allow to conduct research into the global problems associated with the lack of food and malnutrition. Mathematical skills will be required to calculate rates and percentages of consumption which will be used for analysis.

This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"Apprenticeships are a common tool for skill development and social interaction But automation, globalisation, the growing importance of the service sector, human migration, and new forms of employment like the gig economy are changing how the world does business It's not clear whether current apprenticeship systems can survive these developments New research in the International Journal of Training and Development looks at how the institution of apprenticeship has adapted to the rapidly changing economy, labour market, and education system Using this information, the work examines how the evolving world of business could disrupt apprenticeship systems or make them less relevant in the 21st century Although more empirical research is needed before firm conclusions can be drawn the work offers a preliminary framework detailing the readiness of the current apprenticeship system for ‘future work’ conditions… and questions whether the necessary adaptations of apprenticeship systems might affect.."
