C21 Canada — Canadians for 21st Century Learning and Innovation Announce C21 Canada CEO Academy
TORONTO, ON, December 2, 2014 — C21 Canada, a leading non-for-profit organization promoting the accelerated change in teaching and learning practices across Canada, enters its next phase in its journey to nurture 21st century skills in all students across Canada.
Following successful summits and round table events in collaboration with CMEC (Council of Ministers of Education Canada) and Canadian Chambers of Commerce, inspiration led to the formation of the C21 Canada CEO Academy, a concept connecting 21 innovative K12 School District CEO’s from coast to coast to share and create best practices and meet challenges standing in the way.
Dr. Guy Tétrault, Director of Education/CEO for the Sun West School Division in Saskatchewan and a new member of the Shifting Minds Academy believes, “Joining the C21 Canada Shifting Minds Academy provides you with opportunities to collaborate with 21st Century leaders who are focused on transforming traditional educational paradigms into systems that promote and develop 21st Century competencies amongst today’s youth!”
“C21 Canada is pleased to announce the creation of a CEO Academy for Learning Innovation and Technology. This Academy has the participation of the most innovative and progressive CEO’s from public school systems across Canada coming together to share and provide insight, leadership and direction to a 21st century learning, innovation and technology agenda,” says David Roberts-President of C21 Canada.

Struggle to Teach Students ’21st Century Skills’ When Classroom Technology Isn’t up to Speed
In the library at Jesse Waugh’s northwestern Toronto high school, there are a half-dozen computers all the students want: they know they’ll get logged in within five minutes.
“When you think of it, waiting five minutes to log in — that’s long,” says the 17-year-old Grade 12 student at York Memorial Collegiate. “But for school standards, they’re the fastest in the class.”
Such is life in GTA public schools. Hardware that can’t keep up with newer software and applications being fed into it and networks overwhelmed by too much digital traffic are two common problems that can plague public schools as they struggle to arm their students with so-called “21st century skills” such as technological fluency inside constrained budget envelopes.
