Today’s learners face an uncertain present and a rapidly changing future that demand far different skills and knowledge than were needed in the 20th century. We also know so much more about enabling deep, powerful learning than we ever did before. Our collective future depends on how well young people prepare for the challenges and opportunities of 21st-century life.
This report considers the Wayfinding Abilities domain of the MyWays Student Success Framework, including why, in an age of accelerations, the domain merits equal standing with the other three domains, key principles for implementation, and the state of play in the field, as well as offering resources and essential one-page primers for each competency.
