21st Century Skills• Teaches 21st century skills discretely in
the context of core subjects and 21st century interdisciplinary themes
• Focuses on providing opportunities for applying 21st century skills across content areas and for a competency-based approach to learning
• Enables innovative learning methods that integrate the use of supportive technologies, inquiry- and problem-based approaches and higher order thinking skills
• Encourages the integration of community resources beyond school walls

DISSECTING CHALLENGE BASED LEARNING
Challenge Based Learning Design
http://ali.apple.com/cbl/
CBL Design – Big Ideaa broad concept that can be explored in multiple ways, is engaging, and has importance to high school students and the larger society
Examples –
Diversity
Sustainability
CBL Design – Essential Questionidentify what is important to know about the big idea and refine and contextualize that idea
Examples –
What is cultural identity and how does it define you?
How does my water consumption impact my world?
CBL Design – Challengea challenge is articulated that asks students to create a specific answer or solution that can result in concrete, meaningful action
Example –
Create cross-cultural connections at your school
Improve your home, school, or community use of water.
CBL Design – Guiding Questionsgenerated by the students, these questions represent the knowledge students need to discover to successfully meet the challenge
Examples –
How do we use water? How much do we use? How is water wasted?How can water be conserved?
CBL Design – Guiding Activitieslessons, simulations, games, and other types of activities to help students answer the guiding questions and set the foundation for them to develop innovative, insightful, and realistic solutions
Example – Calculate Your Individual Water Footprint
CBL Design – Guiding Resourcesfocused set of resources can include podcasts, websites, videos, databases, experts, and so on that support the activities and assist students with developing a solution
Example - WaterSense Quiz from the Environmental Protection Agency’
www.epa.gov/watersense/water/text.htm
CBL Design – Solution(s)each solution should be thoughtful, concrete, actionable, clearly articulated, and presented in a publishable multimedia format
CBL Design – Assessmentsolution can be assessed for its connection to the challenge, accuracy of the content, clarity of communication, applicability for implementation, and efficacy of the idea
the process that the individuals as well as teams went through in getting to a solution can also be assessed, capturing the development of 21st century skills
CBL Design – Publishingstudents are encouraged to publish their results online, soliciting feedback
CBL Exemplar – Energy
Big Idea = Energy
Essential Question = What is the impact of my fossil fuel consumption?
Challenge = Reduce your family’s fossil fuel consumption.
http://ali.apple.com/cbl/challenges/sustainability/energy.html
CBL Exemplar – Energy
Guiding Questions =
What is a fossil fuel?
Where does my family use fossil fuels?
What is made from fossil fuels?
How much gas does my family use in one week?
What are the alternatives to fossil fuels?
http://ali.apple.com/cbl/challenges/sustainability/energy.html
CBL Exemplar – Energy
Guiding Activities =
Learn About Fossil Fuels
Students research and develop a clear definition of fossil fuels.
How Much Fossil Fuel Do You Own?
Students create a list of products that have fossil fuels in them. They do an inventory of all the items in their homes that contain fossil fuel and investigate alternatives to these items.
http://ali.apple.com/cbl/challenges/sustainability/energy.html
CBL Exemplar – Energy
Guiding Resources =
Energy Story: Fossil Fuels—Coal, Oil and Natural GasThe California Energy Commission provides an overview of fossil fuels.www.energyquest.ca.gov/story/chapter08.html
Energy EfficiencyThe Energy Information Administration provides information for students about energy consumption and efficiency.www.eia.doe.gov/kids/energyfacts/saving/efficiency/savingenergy_secondary.html
