Welcome! This is a professional learning blog strictly for the purpose of dialogue between the participants in the Literacy Professional Learning Series ~ the 21st Century Learner held at the York Catholic District School Board.
Who is the 21st Century Learner?
The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read or write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn and relearn.

About Me
- Catherine Furfaro
- I have been a teacher with the York Catholic DSB for 25 years and have taught just about every grade from JK to Gr. 12. Currently, I am a Consultant for Literacy, Grades 7-12. Reading and Writing have been like air and water to me my entire life. Cuddle up and read time with my children was always sacred time; no phone calls were taken, no interruptions were allowed. My Parents passed down to me the joy of sharing stories. I hope you'll enjoy the ones I write here.

Can we teach creativity?
Yes!
By teaching divergent thinking (analogies, metaphors, and visual thinking). The minute you get people to think visually (draw pictures or move, rather than sit and write points) something different happens in the room.
