Looking at Innovations in Curriculum through the Lens of 21st Century SkillsParisa Mehran
An innovative curriculum is characterized by the incorporation of 21st century skills, i.e., the essential skills needed for success in today’s world such as critical thinking and collaboration. Using Jenkins’ (2009) inventory, we investigated the curriculum orientations of Iranian school teachers particularly in terms of the precedence they give to critical thinking and students’ interests and needs. The participants endorsed curriculum innovation and valued the development of higher-order thinking skills and students’ 21st century concerns such as digital literacy. The results of this study will be further examined by comparing and contrasting the Iranian with the Japanese curricular practices.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2. 21st Century Learning
Learning in the twenty-first century has taken on new
dimensions with the exponential expansion of information,
ever-changing tools, increasing digitization of text, and
heightened demands for critical and creative thinking,
communication, and collaborative problem solving …. All
learners must be able to access high-quality information
from diverse perspectives, make sense of it to draw their won
conclusions or create new knowledge, and share their
knowledge with others.
AASL Standards for the 212st Century Learner in Action (2009)
3. The “Information Age”
Today’s students learning in a dynamic world where information
changes and expands as fast as technological innovation.
Information that grows exponentially and comes in multiple
formats is presented without prior expert editing for truth or
reliability, often without logical organization and frequently
with a very short “shelf life.” Learning in the Information Age is
very different from the kind of learning that took place prior to
the advent of the computer (3).
BCTLA’s Points of Inquiry (2010)
4. Teaching in the 21st Century
Committed 21st Century educators observe how their teaching,
as well as student learning, has evolved as a result of our
information-rich society. They:
• Move to the siade and work to guide or “scaffold” the learning
• Provide feedback that empowers students to move more
deeply into their learning
• Encourage students to have more authority for their own
knowledge and inquiry
• Are actively engaged in learning, assessing, and teaching
• Ensure new learning takes place in active, collaborative, and
social contexts, real or virtual (5)
• BCTLA Points of Inquiry
5. UNESCO/IASL on the SLP:
• The school library provides information and ideas that are
fundamental to functioning successfully in today’s
information and knowledge-based society. [It] equips
students with life-long learning skills and develops the
imagination, enabling them to live as responsible citizens.
• The school library [program] offers learning services,
books and resources that enable all members of the school
community to become critical thinkers and effective users
of information in all formats and media.
6. UNESCO/IASL, cont’d:
• [Research has shown that,] when [TLs] and teachers work
together, students achieve higher levels of literacy, reading,
learning, problem-solving and [ICT] skills.
• All education systems should be encouraged to extend the
learning environment beyond textbook and teacher into the
school library.
• The school library [program] provides a wide range of resources,
both print and non-print, including electronic media and access
to data, which promote an awareness of the child’s own cultural
heritage and provide the basis for an understanding of the
diversity of other cultures.
7. UNESCO/IASL on the Role of TLs
• [Teacher-librarians] support the use of books and other
information sources, ranging from the fictional to the
documentary, from print to electronic, both on-site and
remote. The materials complement and enrich textbooks
teaching materials and methodologies.
• [TLs provide] access to services and collections [UN
Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Freedoms that]
… should not be subject to any form of ideological, political,
or religious censorship, or to commercial pressures.
8. AASL L4L and TLs
Teacher-librarians are educators who cross disciplines and grade levels
as they work to empower every student with the skills, resources, and
tools to:
• Inquire, think critically, and gain knowledge
• Draw conclusions, make informed decisions, apply knowledge to
new situations, and create new knowledge
• Share knowledge and participate ethically and productively as
members of our democratic society
• Pursue personal and aesthetic growth. “
The AASL’s Learning4Life (L4L) program supports the key role of the
TLs in developing independent and lifelong learning, the ability to
think, create, share, and grow in school and beyond
9. Colorado’s Highly Effective SLPs
The focus of school library programs has moved from the
library as a confined place to one with fluid boundaries
that is layered by diverse needs and influenced by an
interactive global community. Guiding principles for
school library programs must focus on building flexible
learning environments with the goal of producing
successful learners skilled in multiple literacies.
NB: Colorado’s “highly effective TL” video series
10. CASL/CLA Guidelines (2000)
• The role and responsibility of the school library lies in the
development of resource-based programs that will ensure that all the
young people in our schools have the opportunity to learn the skills
that will enable them to become competent users of information.
• The program is most effective when it is an integral part of the
instruction program of the school … The program is developed
jointly by teachers and TLs who work co-operatively to plan,
implement, and evaluate resource-based units of study.
• The school library exists within a particular context and is shaped by
policy set at national, provincial and local levels, by professional
standards and research, by educational objectives and curriculum
requirements, and by the expectations of the administration, the
staff, and the community.
11. BCTLA/BCTF
“Every public school student in BC is entitled to meaningful
and substantive library services. The school library or
learning resource centre provides a dynamic environment
made up of a vital mix of people, materials, equipment,
furnishing and space, and this centre is responsive to the
individual and curricular needs of all students and staff.
While the classroom is the core of the learning situation, the
success of the educational process relies on an adaptable and
enriching library program.”
BCTF Members’ Guide, 3.P. Desirable Criteria for School Libraries
12. BCTLA’s Points of Inquiry
• TLs support both teachers and students as they explore
multiple sources of information to create new knowledge and
learning.
• TLs have both the role description and the responsibility to
advocate for a consistent approach within the school and to
foster collaboration between teachers based on the
systematic and systemic development of students’ literacy
abilities.
• [Teachers] will need to understand and teach the
fundamentals of information literacy if they are to empower
BC’s young people to succeed as adults in meeting the
knowledge demands for living, working, and learning
independently.
13. VSB and the Role of the TL
A teacher-librarian is a teacher who selects, manages, and promotes
the effective use of resources. The VTF collective agreement frames
the TLs’ instructional role; the TL “promotes the effective use of
resources” and the VSB Role Document provides details. TLs:
• Work collaboratively to plan, teach, evaluate resource-based
inquiry units that promote student achievement
• Incorporate IL skills, technology, print and digital resources
• Support teachers professionally
• Provide reader and reference services
• Promote reading and student achievement
• Advocate for strong, well-supported school library programs
14. One TL’s Program Reflections
How do I show direct evidence of:
• Meaningful integration of 21st century skills into the library
program?
• Leadership within and outside the school?
• Impact on student achievement within the school?
• A collaborative environment where students have the
instruction they need to be college and career ready?
• A culture of collaboration that includes the TL in instruction,
leadership decisions, and the provision of digital literacy
instruction for staff and students?
15. One TL’s Reflections, cont’d:
How do I show direct evidence of:
• The creation of programs, aligned with school and district
goals, that encourage student involvement in community,
cultural or global initiatives?
• Demonstrated differentiation to meet the learning needs of
all students?
• My work in helping teachers with student assessment?
• Purposeful lesson design that creates lifelong learning?
• My role in the school as a leader for change?
