 * Welcome to Teaching for Tomorrow **

From his book, //Teaching for Tomorrow//, Ted McCain poses the following question. "What skills will students need after they graduate from high school to be successful in the world of technologically driven change in the 21st Century?" The author believes that technology skills are secondary in importance to problem solving skills. Regardless of what technology students have at their disposal in the future, problem-solving skills will be the critical factor that determines their success. Teachers from the Partners for the 21st Century use the 4 Ds of Problem Solving: Define, Design, Do, and Debrief in their classrooms. Cohort teachers also write ill-structured problems, incorporate role playing scenarios, try new ways to evaluate student work, and use technology tools to enhance lessons.
