I came across this post on Joyce Valenza's blog and thought I'd share. It looks like it could become a great site to support librarians' goals for information/media literacy and technology skills.
New resources from the Partnership:
"Today, the Partnership for 21st Century Skills, launched Route 21, a resource kit that: showcases how 21st century skills can be supported through standards, assessments, professional development, curriculum and instruction and learning environments. The site represents the first comprehensive, go-to online resource for high-quality content, best practices, relevant reports, articles and research to assist practitioners in implementing 21st century teaching practices and learning outcomes.
The Partnership's rainbow framework defines three areas of critical 21st century skills: life and career skills; learning and innovation skills; and information, media, and technology skills, around necessary core content knowledge. Underneath the rainbow's arches are support systems: standards and assessments, curriculum and instruction, professional development, learning environments."

They just high lighted this at my state conference (I just got back this evening). What's really neat are the new standards to replace information power. I haven't really done more than just browse them, but they are organized in a neat way and I think I like them better. You can download them at the aasl page.
