Ad lit.org: Cross Disciplinary Proficiencies: American Diploma Project Benchmarks

Students must graduate from high school with not only a firm foundation in mathematics and English, but also with the ability to approach with confidence new and unfamiliar tasks and challenges in college, the workplace and life. Embedded within the American Diploma Project benchmarks are four cross-disciplinary proficiencies - Research and Evidence Gathering, Critical Thinking and Decision Making, Communications and Teamwork, and Media and Technology - that will enable high school graduates to meet these challenges.
