Safety & Security Standards for The 21st Century School

Educators and Administrators are well versed when it comes to 21st Century Learning platforms, concepts and required skills. Broadly speaking, 21st century skills can be applied in all academic subject areas, and may touch many areas of a student’s life including education, career, and civic environments.

Yet largely absent in this forward thinking paradigm are safety and security. A 21st Century Education can exist only when a school has achieved 21st Century School status, a distinction that has no formal standards or requirements.
