ABSTRACT: In interviews with several hundred business, nonprofit, philanthropic, and education leaders, the author identified seven survival skills that 21st century students need to succeed as workers and citizens: (1) critical thinking and problem-solving; (2) collaboration and leadership; (3) ability and adaptability; (4) initiative and entrepreneurialism; (5) effective oral and written communication; (6) accessing and analyzing information; and (7) curiosity and imagination. His observations in highly regarded schools led him to conclude that even honors and AP classes rarely incorporate these skills into the curriculum. He advocates a new definition of rigor, defined according to 21st century criteria.
