Curriculum of the 21st century basic education for a changing world

Translation, research: Nevine Al-Zaga Publisher: Al-Obeikan Library Number of pages: 253 pages For which year do you prepare your students as a teacher: 1973 or 1995? Can you honestly say that your school curriculum and the program you use can prepare your students for the year 2020 or 2025? Are you able, using this curriculum, to prepare them in a way that meets the requirements of their current era? The author and educator Heidi Hayes Jacobs raises this motivating and challenging question, addressing a central issue for curriculum reform, development, and revitalization. Jacobs has decided to share her extensive global expertise in curriculum design with us. This book confirms our need for renewal and updating, to breathe new life into our curricula, and to fundamentally develop our schools to align with the era we live in. Therefore, it is our responsibility to prepare our students for the world they live in now and for the future that awaits them in the coming days. There is increasing concern about the skills and tools that our students must master in the twenty-first century, noting that more than 10% of the twenty-first century had passed when this book was written.
