[LM_NET] ACTION: News.21 Special Update: Respond to the White House and Make Your Voice Heard!!

[Michael Eisenberg <mbe@UW.EDU>]

This is from Lisa Layera – one of the 3 moms from Spokane who is fighting 
tirelessly for teacher-librarians and library information and technology programs 
–

What if we had 80,000 people respond to the White House with this message?

p.s. – here’s what I posted on the Whitehouse Facebook wall:  
http://www.facebook.com/WhiteHouse?v=wall

A 21st Century education MUST ensure that students are effective users and 
producers of ideas and information.

This is the mission of the library information and technology field.
How to achieve this? Through information and technology skills instruction – 
learned as a process, integrated into all subjects, and coordinated by certified 
teacher-librarians.

21st century library information & technology programs for 21st century learning.

Hi All –
What if thousands of teacher-librarians weighed in this saying that “information 
and technology skills instruction – learned as a process, integrated into all 
subjects, and coordinated by certified teacher-librarians is at the heart of 21st 
century learning.”
 Come on! Let’s do it! Act now! And pass the word!

Today, via it's 
website<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1103131447169&s=207&e=001QwsGKtQvm5fXG478cv8GnPTpfMCGbQ73fB7gdsKWbK659buzGJ-uHIgd6esQHMs7nGsgSl3QufAr7y1v3w-Wvo2VRcSVuuh4oHEfUlgEcXUV5O6xYnYsPrrx1MxBTJlooh8LcOQyADCqbp2VVlsyui9T4bswxJW4eiLiCCb_ADE=>,
 the White House posed the question, "What does a 21st century education mean to 
you?"

P21 has answered: The Partnership for 21st Century Skills has worked to answer this 
question by building strategic partnerships between business, education and local, 
state and federal government stakeholders. We have found that, to ensure 21st 
century readiness for every student, we must fuse the three Rs and four Cs 
(critical thinking and problem solving, communication, collaboration, and 
creativity and innovation).

It is clear that our country will continue to compete in a global economy that 
demands innovation - our education system must keep up. To that end, P21 and its 
members - which represent every sector of society - provide tools and resources to 
help stakeholders fuse the three Rs and four Cs. Leading districts and schools are 
already doing this. Local, state and federal governments must craft policies that 
support this change for every school.  That is why it is so important now, as the 
Elementary and Secondary Education Act becomes reauthorized, for our federal 
policymakers to support and incorporate the fusing of the three Rs and the four 4Cs 
throughout that Act to ensure every child owns the outcomes that will enable them 
to be college and career ready upon graduation.
