21st Century Learning and Workforce Readiness

The Napa Valley Unified School District (NVUSD) is a student-centered, 21st Century School District. It is the belief of the NVUSD that the old classroom model – teacher-centered, one-way, one-size-fits-all – makes no sense to young people who have grown up in a digital world.  Instruction must enable students to take ownership of their own learning, use technology to enhance learning, and ensure that student are active participants and ENGAGED in personalized educational experiences. The 6 C's are set of district-wide, Common Core aligned, learning outcomes have been created to help prepare students to be active and successful participants in the 21st century.
