Wisconsin

State Superintendent Elizabeth Burmaster initiated and led Wisconsin’s 21st century skills initiative. Today, State Superintendent Tony Evers is leading and continuing to build on Wisconsin's 21st century skills strategy. Accelerating technological change, rapidly accumulating knowledge, increasing global competition and rising workforce requirements make 21st century skills essential for every student’s success.

“The single best investment we can make is in our children. Educated children become educated adults, who participate in the social, economic and civic life of their community. To remain competitive, Wisconsin realized that it must invest in its human capital to ensure that its students pursue rigorous study that prepares them for the 21st century.”
