| Abstract | The rapid global economic changes and the knowledge explosion facilitated by new technology have created a sense of urgency for American schools. The need to ensure that all students are prepared academically and are provided with the necessary skills to compete in the global economy is a reality. This urgency is fueled by a growing concern for identifying best practices that can be shared among educational leaders to navigate the waves of accountability while at the same time to chart a course toward teaching 21st century skills to all students so that they may compete in this global economy.; The purpose of this study was to identify and study a district maintaining a successful balance between a culture that supports teaching of 21st century skills and meeting adequate performance requirements on federal and state mandated tests. The purpose for this was to identify best leadership practices and to formulate a concept of what teaching 21st century skills looks like in the classroom. This study found that leadership roles play an important part in the creation and sustainment of a culture that believes in teaching 21st century skills. The actions and decisions made by site leaders reflected the role of the new visionary administrator.; This study found that educational frameworks such as Learning-Centered Leadership as described by Murphy 2008), Wagner’s (2008) seven survival skills for the 21st century and leadership as a Visionary Administrator can serve to implement a school culture that believes in preparing students for the global economy. This study will provide the educational community with an understanding of the processes involved in successfully integrating 21st century survival skills into the curriculum while still focusing on a standards-based framework to satisfy NCLB requirements. |
