The Digital Citizen

All the 21st Century fluencies are learned within the context of the Digital Citizen, using the guiding principles of leadership, ethics, accountability, fiscal responsibility, environmental awareness, global citizenship and personal responsibility.



Moral Purpose• Moral purpose is social responsibility to

others and the environment. School leaders with moral purpose seek to make a difference in the lives of students. They are concerned about closing the gap. They act with intention of making a positive difference in their own schools as well as improving the environment in other local schools. Sustained improvement of schools is not possible unless the whole system is moving forward. “The Cultural Change Principal” - Michael Fullan
