Case Study 6: Learning from Our Neighbor to the North

Mr. Jackson has just returned from a professional conference held in Toronto, Canada. He is very excited to share a presentation he attended with his colleagues. The presentation was entitled, “Shifting Minds—A 21st-Century-Inspired Vision for Canada’s Public Education Systems.” Mr. Jackson had actually read about this initiative in his doctoral program at ICanDoThis University and was eager to discuss this initiative with Dr. Mak, his superintendent, and with Dr. DeLacey, director of curriculum.

The presentation Mr. Jackson attended covered the 7 C’s of 21st-century competencies that drive Canadian public school education. The 7 C’s were: creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, communication, character, culture, and ethical citizenship, and computer and digital technologies.

What impressed Mr. Jackson about this framework is that 5 of these 7 C’s were expanded upon and were subjected to a total redesign. The 5 components in the redesign were: curriculum, pedagogy, learning environment, governance, and citizen engagement.
