Three of 19 schools and districts around the U.S. named “Exemplars of 21st Century Learning” Wednesday by a national education coalition are located in San Diego County.
The local honorees are Montgomery Middle School in El Cajon, National University Academy’s Kearny Mesa campus in San Diego and Rancho Minerva Middle School in Vista.
The Partnership for 21st Century Learning‘s exemplar program celebrates schools and districts that have incorporated advanced learning practices into instruction by teachers, curriculum, assessment and professional development.
“That is a great tribute to our state’s dedicated, innovative, and hardworking educators, parents and students,” said Tom Torlakson, state superintendent of public instruction. “These schools showcase the ways in which 21st century learning boosts student achievement, engagement, and preparation for lifelong learning and success.”
