Overview
P21 is a voluntary, national, independent partnership among education, business, community, and government leaders to advance the new knowledge and skills learners need to meet the challenges of modern work, life, and citizenship. As a part of its ongoing work, P21 will map the locales and composition of aligned reform movements in the United States that are working to advance student skills under a variety of monikers, ranging from "deeper learning" to "student-centered learning" to "21st-century skills" and more. Mapping the landscape of policymakers, practitioners, and researchers will help to identify and connect those working explicitly to help the education system produce graduates able to support ongoing innovation in the economy and the health of democracy in the United States.
