Standards-based learning

Which skills are important?

Richard Branson on traditional tasks vs. real tasks

“I'd probably fail school exams if I took them

today. Remembering loads of facts and figures,

and getting them on paper quickly has always

been a nightmare for me. But exams don't

measure skills like reasoning, exploring,

communicating and positively influencing -

essential skills that the world needs.”
