Why PBL and 21st Century Skills Aren’t “Add-Ons”: Using AI to Prove They’re in the Standards AI reveals that PBL and 21st-century skills aren't "add-ons" but are already embedded in CCSS and NGSS, transforming how we view modern teaching.

Revere teachers’ executive committee withdraws from MCIEA; superintendent warns of lost supports and grant opportunities Superintendent Dr. Kelly said the Revere Teachers Association executive committee voted to withdraw the district from the Massachusetts Consortium for Innovative Educational Assessment (MCIEA/MCIA), a move the district says will end access to coaches, task banks and survey dashboards and could cost the district opportunities including a potential $890,000 multi-year grant application. Wayland School staff and students demonstrated the consortium’s deeper-learning tasks and portfolios earlier in the meeting.

Revere teachers have pulled out of a groundbreaking educational consortium, risking vital resources and a potential $890,000 grant that could transform learning in their district.
