| Abstract | This case study examines the programs and practices at a middle school claiming to promote 21st Century Skills. Research questions for this study included: What are the practices and programs at a school and how are these programs and practices aligned with 21st Century skills? What is the professional community of the school, and how does this professional community support the programs and practices at the school? What is the perceived impact of 21st Century skills on the culture of the school? Findings from this study showed that strong interventions programs existed in order to ensure all students are achieving, there was evidence of continual data-driven decision making by school staff, leadership was shared at the school, there was evidence of community outreach, alternative assessment and measures for student success were frequently used by teachers, and student assertive discipline incidents were low. |
