PEEL— Peel District School Board is scheduled to be awarded for its commitment to 21st century learning.
The local school board will receive C21 Canada’s Shifting Minds National Award for distinctive achievement in the field of 21st century learning and innovation. C21 Canada is a national, not for profit organization advocating for 21st century models of learning in education.
In March 2012, Peel school board trustees approved the board’s Vision for 21st Century Teaching and Learning and a $7 million investment in technology to enhance student learning. The plan includes the board’s Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policy that encourages students to bring portable electronic devices to school for learning purposes and the installation of Wi-Fi at all its schools this past September.
