Standards for the 21st century learner

The article is from the American Association of School Librarians and covers 4 standards areas for the 21st century learner. The article elaborates on the 4 areas and lists out all of the standards for each area. “(1) Inquire, think critically, and gain knowledge. (2) Draw conclusions, make informed decisions, apply knowledge to new situations, and create new knowledge. (3) Share knowledge and participate ethically and productively as members of our democratic society. (4) Pursue personal and aesthetic growth“.

This article is very confusing out of context, and I’m not quite sure what to think of it. I could benefit from seeing some in the classroom type of examples of how these standards are used. The article was not clear if these are just suggestions or actual standards for educators.
