As you know, our business is literacy. We believe that it's an important and essential part of living a successful life. One of the biggest shifts happening in literacy right now is 21st century literacy, which includes things like digital literacy and the 4 C's: creativity, collaboration, communication, and critical thinking. Here's what our President had to say about 21st century literacy:
"I'm calling on our nation's governors and state education chiefs to develop standards and assessments that don't simply measure whether students can fill in a bubble on a test, but whether they possess 21st century skills like problem-solving and critical thinking and entrepreneurship and creativity."
-President Barack Obama, in an address to the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, 3/10/09
