    To be college and career ready, students need to be able to integrate and apply 21st century skills, as well as core academic and technical knowledge. Career and Technical Education programs are aligned with rigorous industry and academic standards. The State of Washington has incorporated the 21st Century Leadership & Employability Skills Standards, developed from Partnership for 21st Century Skills organization, within the Career and Technical courses. The 21st Century Skills Standards adopted by the State, focus on creativity, critical thinking, communication and collaboration. These standards are essential to preparing students for complex lives and work environments in our global economy.

     

    Everett Public Schools’ Career and Technical Education has developed a program, aligned with the State standards, to provide opportunities for students to be assessed on the 21st Century Skills State Standards. In the Health Pathway, this is accomplished through assessments recommended by the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI). OSPI has cross-walked resources provided by the student organization, Washington Career & Technical Sports Medicine Association (WCTSMA), and other recommended assessments. In addition to these resources, students will be assessed using classroom assessments.

     

    The 21st Century Skills Standards students will be assessed on, are assembled into eleven categories. The categories include:

     
    Creativity and Innovation Flexibility and Adaptability
    Critical Thinking and Problem Solving Initiative and Self-direction
    Communication and Collaboration Social and Cross-Cultural Skills
    Information Literacy Productivity and Accountability
    Media Literacy Leadership and Responsibility
    Information, Communication and Technology Literacy (ICT)   


    The grading scale used for assessing students is as follows:

     

    4 = Exceeds Standard

    3 = Meets Standard

    2 = Worked toward meeting standard, but did not complete

    1 = Made an attempt to meet standard, but did minimal work

    0 = Did not attempt to meet Standard

     



     

    Each student is responsible for tracking and maintaining their score for the 21st Century Skills Standards for the course. Below is a listing of the Standards for the course and what assessments are available for demonstration of meeting or exceeding the standard throughout the semester. There are multiple opportunities for students to demonstrate their skills. It is up to the student to choose the activities that best fit their schedule/needs/interest and to collect the signatures DURING or IMMEDIATELY following the assessment.
