Skills and Dispositions, Part 2: Strategies

Highlights promising practices that build motivation, engagement, and 21st-century skills in schools and out-of-school-time settings.

This report, published in 2014, illuminates strategies that support the development of student motivation, engagement, and 21st-century skills. Fourteen strategies are featured; some are foundational (high-quality instruction, cultural responsiveness, positive school climate) while others are more specific (e.g. arts integration, community-based mentoring). This is the second in a two-part series. The first part provides an overview of research on student motivation, engagement, and 21st-century skills.
