Based on this consortium that you mentioned, Wisconsin along with 5 other states have developed a framework for their state initiatives. This framework ties in "21st Century Student Outcomes." This framework is nicely broken down into 4 parts. This information will be great in getting everyone educated about "21st Century Skills" at a deeper level.
Unfortunately it looks like Wisconsin is going to figure out a way to convention and committee this idea to death. Conceptualizing 21st Century Skills will require embracing the idea that skills in seeing patterns through apparent chaos is important. This means through this process as well. Trying to force 21st Century learning into the cookie cutter model of skills development and teacher in-service WILL NOT WORK. The open source community continues to move forward, state departments of education continue to be years behind.
