politicization in education by

Traditional Structure Activity
1. Welcome to the 21st century world of work. It's a very different world than our grandparents experienced; very few people learn one job and perform it until they retire. The 21st century workplace, given its uncertain and thus flexible nature, requires a special set of skills.
2. Successful workers in the 21st century need to understand how they, themselves, learn. Some companies offer training in learning styles, and many learning style assessments exist online. In addition to understanding themselves as learners, workers also need to learn how to assess gaps in their knowledge.
3. Wertheim (2008) states that "people in organizations typically spend over 75% of their time in an interpersonal situation; thus it is no surprise to find that at the root of a large number of organizational problems is poor communications. Effective communication is an essential component of organizational success whether it is at the interpersonal, intergroup, intragroup, organizational, or external levels" (p. 21).
4. Multiple researchers, such as those from enGuage in their report Literacy in the Digital Age (2003), note that workers need to learn how to quickly adapt to changing technology, changing structures in their workplaces, and changing work environments.
5. The ability to deal with change, the need to learn how to learn, and the ability to communicate in multiple modes, varied situations, and with various groups of people are special skills needed by the 21st century worker. Think of your own workplace ten or even five years ago. How much has it changed and how much has your own job changed? Are you ready to meet the challenge of the next ten years?
