Personal success skills are the capabilities—complementary to disciplinary and technical knowledge—that enable adults to deal with the challenges, relationships, transitions, and social systems that make up working life. Important abilities include basic job readiness, self-directed learning, self-management, personal responsibility, effective communication, career management, and everyday problem solving. - See more at: https://www.sri.com/blog/empowering-adults-thrive-work-personal-success-skills-21st-century-jobs#sthash.9CVKwFdb.dpuf

The revised framework is designed to provide encouragement and some rudimentary guidelines for critical thinking about applications of technology for lifelong learning. Section 1 describes the link to "Plugging In." Section 2 discusses the nature of adult (as opposed to childhood) learning and the potential roles that technology can play in helping to create learning environments ideally suited to adult learners' needs and interests. Section 3 explains the revisions of the "Plugging In" indicators of engaged learning and high performance technology. A table categorizes indicators (with their definitions) of engaged adult learning into eight variables: vision of learning, tasks, assessment, instructional model, learni...

We begin with an overview of the recent history of developments in standards, assessment, and accountability in arts education. Next, we describe and discuss the strengths and limitations of several influential approaches to large-scale arts assessment, the NAEP Arts Assessment and two large-scale portfolio assessment models, the IB arts portfolio assessment and the AP Studio Art portfolio program. Then follows a discussion of the very different approaches to standards-based arts assessment adopted by the five states that currently have active large-scale arts assessment programs: Kentucky, Washington, Rhode Island, South Carolina, and Minnesota.
