West Virginia Department of Education

West Virginia Department of Education Supporting "Good Kids Doing Great Work!" To ensure every child's success as citizens and workers in the 21st century, the West Virginia Department of Education and the Board of Education developed West Virginia’s 21st century learning plan. We call it Global21: Students deserve it. The world demands it. The program is a systemic approach to help West Virginia not only compete globally but to thrive. From the classroom to the district office to the state Department of Education, the program is a bold acknowledgement that we must change how we operate if we expect to change what and how children learn. At its core is the mission to develop self-directed, motivated learners who demonstrate the skills and knowledge that are fundamental to becoming successful adults in the digital world. Global21: Students deserve it. The world demands it.
