Course Description and Alignment with 21^st Century Skills

To be college and career ready, students need to be able to integrate and apply 21^st century skills, as well as core academic and technical knowledge. The 21^st Century Skills standards adopted by the State of Washington, developed from the Partnership for 21^st Century Skills organization, are focused on creativity, critical thinking, communication and collaboration.
