What Does a 21st-Century Learner Look Like?

In this educational landscape, it seems en vogue to use buzzwords like 21st-century learners to describe students that are “future ready.” However, when you ask an educator or administrator to explain the characteristics of a 21st-century learner, all of a sudden they draw a blank. That’s because the problem with education buzzwords is that they are ill-defined and poorly modeled. To end this debate once and for all, we decided to share a graphic that definitively dissects the characteristics and attributes of a 21st-century learner. I hope this helps.
