Questions the Education Committee were asked to consider after viewing the two videos, Sir Ken Robinson and Edutopia.

1. What is the significance of a Westminster education and what makes it unique? 2. How does a Westminster education help students to think in divergent, innovative, or creative ways? 3. How can educators bridge the gap between the "content of today's lesson" and the stimulating world that is available to our students in the 21st century?

 * Stamping Our Card: Westminster Already a 21st C. School**

Edutopia video that shows the Language Immersion Program at the John Stanford International School in Seattle, WA. They integrate PBL, language immersion, second language acquisition etc. This school is looking at how to be a 21st Century School with regard to global awareness, language, culture, etc. Really worth viewing for some perspective on what it means to be a 21st Century school.
