Develop 21st Century Skills NJ Career Ready Practices are laced throughout the curriculum. 3. Engage Students in In-Depth Inquiry Require in-depth research to address the driving question. 4. Organize Tasks Around a Driving Question The driving question is written in terms relatable to the students. 5. Establish a Need To Know Engaging activities and relevant selected readings lead to critical and creative thinking about the driving question, but are not meant to provide the solution. 6. Encourage Voice and Choice Teachers guide students through the projects, allowing them to make choices about what to research and how to work toward a solution. 7. Include a Public Audience Subject matter experts serve as an authentic audience for presentations. 8.
