That is a big step in my view towards teaching and assessing these skills, although I believe the Key Competencies need revision too.

The key competencies provide the 'macro view' of the skills/attitudes/competencies/dispositions a student of today will ideally develop in order to grow as a contributing member of society. The focus on digital skills/literacy asks specifically what the subset of skills/attitudes/competencies/dispositions are that a student of today will require in order to function as a digitally literate member of society.

My understanding was that when we looked at the 21st century learner, the collective wisdom of teachers and education academics in NZ was that the key competencies represent a set of values/skills/attitudes that our students need for the 21st century. Are these now already superceded, or does this work simply bring specific detail to the key competencies? Where does this all fit in with key competencies?

We're trying to push rhetoric to one side and look at what folk need to know. Thanks for your kind words Joe Piece has been reviewed in London and now NZ and they're still reading it over in the Isles off West of Scotland ;-) (slainte Andrew) Cheers hope work is useful in context of NZ debate and would be interested to hear from any any NZ policy makers curriculum developers looking at life long learners.
