“Results That Matter: 21st Century Skills and High School Reform”
Improving high schools requires the
nation to redefine “rigor” to
encompass not just mastery of core
academic subjects, but also mastery of
21st century skills and content. Rigor
must reflect all the results that matter
for all high school graduates today.
Today’s graduates need to be critical
thinkers, problem solvers and effective
communicators who are proficient in
both core subjects and new, 21st
century content and skills. These 21st
century skills include learning and
thinking skills, information and
communications technology literacy
skills, and life skills.

RESULTS THAT MATTER
Post-Secondary Success
In 2005, Rockman et al conducted a six-month study of Napa New Technology High School (NTHS)
alumni (8 graduating classes since opening in 1996). The study gathered feedback from NTHS graduates
regarding their postsecondary education and/or career, 21st Century skills, knowledge and use of
technology, and on what they valued most about their NTHS experience:
• 89% of the responding alumni attended a 2-year or 4-year college/university or professional
or technical institute.
•92% of respondents have applied some or a great deal of what they learned at NTHS to their
postsecondary education or career.
•96% of the respondents would choose to attend NTHS again.
•40% of the alumni respondents were either majoring in STEM fields or were working in STEM
professions.
High School Success
New Tech High School students graduate with a mastery of 21st Century knowledge and skills, prepared
for college, career, and citizenship. New Tech High School uses multiple measures to assess student
performance and school accountability, including measures of student engagement, academic success, 21st
Century skills, and post-secondary success. NTHS Results that Matter shows high school success data on
student achievement, 21st Century Skills, graduation requirements, graduation rates, post-secondary
enrollments and STEM Careers, Recognitions, and NTHS Network School Success .

Small and Smaller: The third era of globalization is
shrinking the world from size small to a size tiny.
By THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN, March 4, 2004
Globalization 1.0
From the late 1800's to World War I, was driven by
falling transportation costs, thanks to the steamship and
the railroad. shrank the world from a size large to a size
medium.
Globalization 2.0
From the 1980's to 2000, was based on falling telecom
costs and the PC, and shrank the world from a size
medium to a size small.

Small and Smaller: The third era of globalization
is shrinking the world from size small to a size tiny.
By THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN, March 4, 2004
Globalization 3.0
Produced by three forces:
•Massive installation of undersea fiber-optic cable and
bandwidth (thanks to the dot-com bubble) that have made it
possible to globally transmit and store huge amounts of data
for almost nothing.
•Second, the diffusion of PC's around the world.
•Third, the convergence of a variety of software applications — from e-mail,
to Google, to Microsoft Office, to specially designed outsourcing programs —
that, when combined with all those PC's and bandwidth, made it possible to
create global "work-flow platforms."

Project- and Problem-Based Learning
Keys to 21st Century Learning
NTHS teachers start each unit by throwing students into a realistic or real-world
project that both engages interest and generates a list of things the student need
to know. Projects are designed to tackle complex problems, requiring critical
thinking. New Tech’s strategy is simple:
To learn collaboration, work in teams.
To learn critical thinking, take on complex problems.
To learn oral communication, present.
To learn written communication, write.
To learn technology, use technology.
To develop citizenship, take on civic and global issues.
To learn about careers, do internships.
To learn content, research and do all of the above. 29
21st Century High Schools 19 1083 _M acr os
Each unit begins when students are presented
with a complex, standards-based problem
Students form a team, develop a
work contract and build a work plan

lectures and activities. Sometimes for the whole class …
sometime for just one student

NTHS 2.0
Thanks to the support of the Napa community, a new
wing of NTHS is now being constructed. Napa NTHS
was opened 11 years ago, before the full impact of
NCLB became apparent. The addition of the 9th and 10th
grades in 2004 generated some needs. We are always
looking for the best practices in serving all students,
researching those practices, adapting them to NTHS,
implementing them, and evaluating the results. Our
flexibility has contributed to our ongoing success as a
small, innovative high school.
