﻿ **Curriculum Architects** is named in deference to the metaphor created by Heidi Hayes Jacobs (2010a) in which she described curriculum designers as architects that carefully plan based on unique circumstances. In other words, we must study our students to determine their readiness, interest, and learning profile (Tomlinson, C.A., 2010).

In order to be architects that build curriculum for the 21st century learner, we have designed this site so that educators can collaborate and share resources for using 21st century tools in the classroom. We can no longer prepare our students for 21st century skills and jobs using outdated methods.

Jacobs urges educators to take the "21st century pledge" (Jacobs, H.H., 2010b) and incorporate at least one new piece of technology per semester, starting with replacing outdated assessment methods.

The creators of this site have taken Jacobs's pledge to upgrade the curriculum. Please join us. //**The future depends on us.**//
