> 2007, AASL charged the task force "to develop a document to expand and
> support the new learning standards" with "indicators, benchmarks,
> model examples, and assessments." Standards for the 21st Century

> specialists and other educators in teaching the essential learning
> skills defined in Standards for the 21st Century Learner.

> After thoroughly reviewing and considering all the comments and
> suggestions on the first draft, task force members worked over the
> summer to refine the original document. We believe that this draft
> suitably reflects the many thoughtful suggestions we received.
>
> The draft is posted in both PDF and Word format so that those who wish
> to may mark up the Word document and return it to the task force with
> their suggested changes or additions. Please email your comments to
