Leslie Telfer, Superintendent of Education, Brant, Haldimand, Norfolk Catholic District School Board, spoke on Literacy Trends in Brant. She was clear that children need the Four C’s of Education; critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity. Simple knowledge is easily available through technology. Children must be able to understand, evaluate, and apply knowledge to succeed.
