The Partnership for 21st Century Skills is a well-respected, leading advocacy organization infusing 21st century skills into education. The Partnership for 21st Century Skills brings together the business community, education leaders, and policymakers to define a powerful vision for 21st century education to ensure every child's success as citizens and workers in the 21st century.

PolyVision is proud to be the only interactive whiteboard manufacturer that is a member of the Partnership for 21st Century Skills and other manufacturers include Apple, Dell, McGraw-Hill Education, and Microsoft.

The Partnership encourages schools, districts and states to advocate for the infusion of 21st century skills into education and provides tools and resources to help facilitate and drive change. It has developed a unified, collective vision for 21st Century learning that can be used to strengthen education. The key elements of 21st century learning are represented in the graphic and descriptions below. The graphic represents both 21st century skills student outcomes (as represented by the arches of the rainbow) and 21st century skills support systems (as represented by the pools at the bottom):

In addition, Partnership for 21st Century Skills has developed the first online resource dedicated to 21st Century skills, known as ‘Route 21’. Route 21 is an online resource with an extensive database on 21st Century skills, related standards, assessments, curriculum, professional development, and learning environments.
