63. Discussion How do you design conditions that embed 21st century fluencies in virtual and physical learning spaces? How can we support our staff to partner with their students to create highly engaging blended learning environments?
64. Creating a Learning Commons StrategyCollaborating with the Leaders Start out by studying how the Learning Commons will work best in the school Establish a timeline for development List the school’s real and potential learning spaces Determine gaps in the how the virtual and physical learning spaces are accessed Evaluate the technology that is available for it’s potential use What are the tools and resources your students will need, what are your school’s learning goals, and how can they be woven into your Learning Commons?
68. Focusing in: THE WHY Ensure our students are prepared for the world today as well as a future we have not even thought of yet. Provide real, relevant responsive education so that each student becomes a lifelong learner and contributing citizen in a diverse world There is a focus on critical literacy, higher-order thinking skills and 21st-century fluencies. Strengthening the focus: Innovative Thinking
70. Purposefully plan for blended learning in classrooms Blended learning mixes various activities, including face-to-face classrooms, live e-learning, and self-paced instruction.
82. Key Points: Must leverage the pedagogy and the technology of today to create engaging and relevant learning experiences for all learners that is real world 21st century teaching requires innovation, problem solving, creativity, continuous improvement, research, diagnostic use of data 21st century learning must be flexible and personalized Focus on connected leading , learning and teaching model – networking & learning communities 21st century classrooms and schools must have learning spaces that are responsive to how students learn

Editor's Notes
Peter – PLS ADD
Peter:All students achieving their full potential – achievement matters, engagement matters, equity matters Relevant responsive education = students becoming lifelong learners All students are learning, all students are engaged in programs that meet their needs and interests and have access to the programs they desire
Peter:EXPLORATION:What does a school look like today?What should it look like in 10 years, 20 years or even 50 years from now?Those are the questions Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board has been asking. Over the past two years, hundreds of staff, students and community members have been involved in looking at the future of education in Hamilton, to find the answer.We want to ensure our students are prepared for the world today as well as a future we haven’t even thought of yet. With our economy shifting beyond our city, province and country, we need to redefine education for the 21st century.
