Partnership for 21st Century Learning | Link
The Partnership for 21st Century Skills (P21) is a national organization that advocates for 21st century readiness for every student. The Framework for 21st Century Learning that P21 has developed fuses the 3Rs with the 4Cs (critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity) to give students the skills and knowledge they need to succeed.

As this graphic illustrates, the P21 framework focuses on student outcomes (a blend of specific skills, content knowledge, expertise, and literacies) and the support systems needed to help students master the multi-dimensional abilities required in the 21st century.
