Question 4

4) OPINION: Do we need more or less emphasis of either Core Knowledge or 21st Century Learning Skills? How would we go about it?

As my previous reply states there is only one required technology course for students attempting to get their credential. However, students are required to take numerous courses and test to assess their core knowledge. I think that it is safe to say that an absorbent amount of emphasis is being placed on core knowledge, but very little focus is placed on 21^st century skills. During my research it was revealed the people pro core knowledge have a very rudimentary understanding of 21^st Century learning skills. They believe that core skills are going to be pushed aside. However, I saw it that Core Knowledge is the content that will be used via the 21^st century learning skills.
