Education systems all over the world, including Canada and the Northwest Territories, are making a shift to 21st Century Learning and Teaching. 21st Century Learning and Teaching looks at building competencies. This is more than just developing skills. Competencies include skills, values, motivations and attitudes that work together to enable a capable person – not just through school but throughout a person's entire life.

The role of the classroom teacher is always transforming. Their supportive connection to their students has an enormous positive impact on student learning. Research is revealing how the brain learns. Engagement, collaboration, wellness and inquiry-based learning are all areas of research supporting new understandings about teaching and learning. Global connectivity and access to information also play an important role in the teaching and learning in today’s classrooms.
