After elementary school, students in the U.S. move to secondary education. This next level of learning encompasses 6th through 12th grade, also known as Middle School and High School. Traditional educational practices at this level have been teacher-centered, but today, with the prominence of technology, 21st century learning is now the focal point.
The skills learned in today's 21st century classroom emphasize critical thinking, group work, creativity, digital competence and learning through "hands-on" experiences. The goal is to ensure students graduate from high school prepared for the real world, whether that means pursuing higher education or entering the workforce. This necessitates creating an environment best suited to develop these skills. School furniture, classroom layouts, technologies, learning pedagogies and equipment all play a role in bringing 21st century learning to life.
