In May 2008, Secretary Paul Reville convened a Task Force under the leadership of Gerald Chertavian on 21st Century Skills. The 22-member task force, consisting of leaders in education, business and technology, was charged with developing recommendations for ways to integrate 21st century skills in K-12 curriculum.
