Summary:

Teaching and Learning for the Twenty-First Century examines how six countries-Chile, China, India, Mexico, Singapore, and the United States-define, support, and cultivate the core competencies that students will need in order to succeed in the current century. The fruition of a collaborative research project at the Global Education Innovation initiative at the Harvard Graduate School of Education (HGSE), the book's crucial contribution to the burgeoning field of international education arises out of its special attention to first principles-and thus to first questions: As Reimers and Chung explain, "much can be gained by an explicit investigation of the intended purposes of education, in what they attempt to teach students, and in the related questions of why those purposes and how they are achieved."
