Around here we don’t look
backwards for very long…
We keep moving forward,
opening up new doors and doing
new things because we’re
curious, and curiosity keeps
leading us down new paths.

T
he admonition that we should be preparing our
students for the 21st century is everywhere. There
are numerous books, blogs, and content resources
promoting and espousing the virtues of 21st cen-
tury learning. If one examines the titles and descriptions of
presentations at any gifted or general education conference,
reference to 21st century learning is prevalent. Most of us
in gifted education have regularly advocated for teaching
21st century skills. However, we have been living in the 21st
century for 13 years now, and if we are only now preparing
our students to be 21st century learners, we’re showing up
to the party very late. In fact, as the class of 2013 graduated
from high school, consider that this group of students was
always 21st century learners regardless of what they were
trace their origins back at least 30 years. In 1983, the Na-
tional Science Board Commission on Precollege Education
in Mathematics, Science and Technology published a report
entitled, Educating Americans for the 21st Century: A Plan
of Action for Improving Mathematics, Science, and Technol-
ogy Education for All American Elementary and Secondary
Students So that their Achievement is the Best in the World
by 1995. This publication outlined many of the same initia-
tives and programs that we are arguing for three decades
later. The executive summary chided, “America must not
become an industrial dinosaur. We must not provide our
children a 1960s education for a 21st century world.” Yet,
some might argue that is exactly what we have done. It is
time that the field of gifted education begins to re-envision

“The world is moving at a tremendous rate. No one knows where.
We must prepare our children, not for the world of the past,
not for our world, but for their world, the world of the future.”
— John Dewey
CONSTRUCTING
SYNTHESIS
Creativity is just
connecting things.
When you ask creative people how
they did something, they feel a little
guilty because they didn’t really do it,
they just saw something. It seemed
obvious to them after a while. 

That’s because they were able to
connect experiences they’ve had and
SYNTHESIZEnew things.
- Steve Jobs, 1995
An idea is nothing
more or less than
a new combination
of old elements.

A Technique for Producing Ideas
The capacity to bring
old elements into
new combinations
depends largely on the
ability to see
relationships.
