What exactly is the 21st Century Classroom?

Today, many educators, policy makers, parents, and even the general public respond with "That's impossible!" when challenged to adopt a new development of education for the 21st century.  Most people today can't escape the idea of education that is strictly 19th century.  However, a growing number of educators are believing in and accomplishing "the impossible" idea that will successfully lead students into the 21st Century successfully!

So what is 21st century education?  It is bold.  It breaks the mold.  It is flexible, creative, challenging, and complex.  It addresses a rapidly changing world filled with fantastic new problems as well as exciting new possibilities.  Fortunately, there is a growing body of research supporting an increasing number of 21st century schools. We have living proof, inspiring examples to follow, in schools across the United States.
