C21 Canada will be discussing their Shifting Minds 21st Century learning policy statement and how to relate to the growing interest in membership when they meet in Toronto tomorrow. Shifting Minds was the centrepiece of C21 Canada’s Summit held at the Kingbridge Convention Centre on February 15th, 2012. Shifting Minds: A 21st Century Vision of Public Education for Canada, has received positive reviews and has been even further refined based on the feedback received both at the Summit and through the organization’s website. C21 Canada intends to keep the policy statement dynamic and will continue to seek public feedback to ensure it reflects both international learning research and Canadian values and learning priorities.
C21 Canada will also be reviewing its membership strategy given the growing interest from individual educators, school districts and private businesses who are signalling they wish to become active members. A Membership Strategy will likely be released via the organization’s website within days of tomorrow’s meeting.
