C21 is an organization of Canadians for 21st Century Learning and Innovation. C21 Canada has conducted research and developed “Shifting Minds – A 21st Century Vision of Public Education for Canada”. Incorporating this research, the Board of Education believes that Sun West students need to be competent in literacy, numeracy and science. Today’s knowledge and digital reality means that changes occur at an astronomical rate. This reality requires our students and staff to have additional competencies and skills. The Sun West School Division will therefore endeavor to infuse 21st Century learning skills into all curricula and into the development of any and all educational programming. Staff will be supported and expected to continually develop their 21st Century Competencies.
