The purpose of this study was to understand whether educators have knowledge of the 21st Century Skills concepts and if they facilitate student acquisition of these important skills. Participants in this quantitative study included 1,273 high school educators from 12 suburban and 19 rural Wisconsin school districts. The researcher developed a self-administered survey consisting of 44 questions. This research study focused on the teacher training of 21 st Century Skills and the integration of these skills into a curriculum. Results of this study indicated the extent to which educators understand the concepts and how these skills are being implemented into the curriculum. Keys findings of this study suggested that while educators integrated some elements of 21st Century Skills concepts into curriculum for student learning, there is still progress to be made in preparing high school graduates with the skills necessary to succeed in the 21st century college and career opportunities. The researcher suggested that school district administrators and higher education institutions provide increased opportunities for practicing educators and pre-service teachers to acquire an understanding on the importance of integrating these skills into an academic curriculum to provide student acquisition of 21st Century Skills concepts.
