Porter, President of Mosaica Turnaround Partners will join P21’s Strategic Council.

“Mosaica Education shares P21’s commitment to innovation in education,” remarked Dr. Porter. “We are pleased to be affiliated with P21, who has been at the forefront of providing thought leadership and a champion for the importance of all of our students having access to 21^st Century Skills.”

As a catalyst organization in the 21^st Century Skills Movement, P21 works with education leaders, the business community, and state and federal policymakers to ensure that the U.S. education system equips students with rigorous content knowledge and the skills they need for college, career, and citizenship.

About P21: P21 is a national organization that advocates for 21st century readiness for every student. As the United States continues to compete in a global economy that demands innovation, P21 and its members provide tools and resources to help the U.S. education system keep up by fusing the 3Rs and 4Cs (critical thinking and problem solving, communication, collaboration and creativity and innovation). While leading districts and schools are already doing this, P21 advocates for local, state and federal policies that support this approach for every school.
