Reading, writing and arithmetic are so last century. Today, it’s not enough to just study the core subjects we all learned as kids. Schools are preparing students for college, careers, and a globally competitive workforce. That means teaching students to think creatively, communicate effectively and collaborate on problem solving.

A national program is partnering schools with multinational corporations and local businesses to come up with innovative curricula. For more on this we’re joined by Ken Kay. He’s president and co-founder of The Partnership for 21st Century Skills, which is now being implemented in 14 states. Also joining us is Donna Desiato, a school superintendent in East Syracuse, New York, one of the districts using this program.
