“Results That Matter: 21st Century Skills and High School Reform”
Improving high schools requires the
nation to redefine “rigor” to
encompass not just mastery of core
academic subjects, but also mastery of
21st century skills and content. Rigor
must reflect all the results that matter
for all high school graduates today.
Today’s graduates need to be critical
thinkers, problem solvers and effective
communicators who are proficient in
both core subjects and new, 21st
century content and skills. These 21st
century skills include learning and
thinking skills, information and
communications technology literacy
skills, and life skills.

“Through my work with the
business community, it has become
apparent that there isn’t a lack of
employees that are technically
proficient but a lack of employees
that can adequately communicate
and collaborate, innovate and think
critically. At this pivotal moment in
our nation’s history, legislators and
policymakers must focus on the
outcomes we know produce
graduates capable of competing in
the 21st century and forging a
viable economic future.”
-- Ken Kay, president of the
Partnership for 21st Century Skills.

Project- and Problem-Based Learning
Keys to 21st Century Learning
NTHS teachers start each unit by throwing students into a realistic or real-world
project that both engages interest and generates a list of things the student need
to know. Projects are designed to tackle complex problems, requiring critical
thinking. New Tech’s strategy is simple:
 To
learn collaboration, work in teams.
 To
learn critical thinking, take on complex problems.
 To
learn oral communication, present.
 To
learn written communication, write.
 To
learn technology, use technology.
 To
develop citizenship, take on civic and global issues.
 To
learn about careers, do internships.
 To
learn content, research and do all of the above.

RESULTS THAT MATTER
Post-Secondary Success
In 2005, Rockman et al conducted a six-month study of Napa New Technology High School (NTHS)
alumni (8 graduating classes since opening in 1996). The study gathered feedback from NTHS graduates
regarding their postsecondary education and/or career, 21st Century skills, knowledge and use of
technology, and on what they valued most about their NTHS experience:
•
89% of the responding alumni attended a 2-year or 4-year college/university or professional
or technical institute.
•92% of respondents have applied some or a great deal of what they learned at NTHS to their
postsecondary education or career.
•96% of the respondents would choose to attend NTHS again.
•40% of the alumni respondents were either majoring in STEM fields or were working in STEM
professions.
High School Success
New Tech High School students graduate with a mastery of 21st Century knowledge and skills, prepared
for college, career, and citizenship. New Tech High School uses multiple measures to assess student
performance and school accountability, including measures of student engagement, academic success, 21st
Century skills, and post-secondary success. NTHS Results that Matter shows high school success data on
student achievement, 21st Century Skills, graduation requirements, graduation rates, post-secondary
enrollments and STEM Careers, Recognitions, and NTHS Network School Success .
