Keynote Speaker

Our conference brings together diverse voices to inspire and deepen our understanding of assessment. On Day 1, our keynote speaker, Myron Dueck, will set the stage with thought-provoking insights on assessment in today’s classrooms.

Myron Dueck – Educator, Author, Speaker

Myron frequently visits schools, conferences, districts, parent meetings, not-for-profits, and industry around the world to share his 25 years of practitioner and leadership experience.

He helps individuals and groups generate ideas and navigate issues related to standards-based grading, assessment, reporting, student voice, technology (such as AI), and change. Myron’s keynotes, sessions and full-day workshops focus on balancing theory and research with tools and ideas.

Myron’s published work includes numerous journal articles and his two best-selling books, Grading Smarter, Not Harder– Assessment Strategies that Motivate Kids and Help Them Learn (ASCD, 2014) and Giving Students a Say! Smarter Assessment Practices to Empower and Engage.

Myron and his family live in Summerland, British Columbia (BC), Canada. Over the past decade, Myron has been immersed in BC’s educational changes, including the recent introduction of a new proficiency scale, student self-reflection, and student goal setting.
