Attention K -4 Teachers and Leaders!
Confident, Healthy and Hopeful:
Assessment to Support Our Youngest Learners
Katie White
Assessment decisions that teachers make every day have a profound impact on our students, and this is especially true for our youngest learners.
Katie White will share her experience with integrating learner centered assessment practices within new curricula. Participants will have an opportunity to work in grade level teams to create an assessment framework for a set of learner outcomes from the new K – 4 Alberta Curriculum.
This is a perfect opportunity to consider the kind of classroom assessment practices that will empower our students and fuel hope.
