What is LEAP21

LEAP21 is based on the way ITL Research studies and measures innovative teaching practices. LEAP21 asks teachers and school leaders to analyse and 'score' learning activities to see how deeply they integrate 21st century skills, collaborate in designing new learning activities that provide deeper 21st century skills development, examine the impact of these learning activities on students' work, and use ICT as part of the process.

What teachers are saying about this


Teachers who go through this process say it gives them a clear and practical way to integrate 21st century skills in their own teaching. LEAP21 requires that educators be active and engaged knowledge-builders, adopting and using the very skills they are seeking to instill in their students: collaboration, knowledge-building, self-regulation and assessment (or learning to learn) and use of technology for learning. Through the programme, teachers become learners of their own teaching practices by studying the impact of their teaching on students LEAP21 guidelines help teacherss identify and understand the opportunities that learning activities give students to build 21st century skills. Microsoft will be hosting workshops and webinars on LEAP21, focusing on the five dimensions of 21st Century learning.

The LEAP21 discussion Forum on the Partners in Learning Network http://www.pil-network.com/Discussion/ccc93868-82a8-4c32-98a3-a8afb555a34b will allow all participants of LEAP21 training to connect and discuss the topic, as well as access the documents needed for the webinar.
