This year’s Keynote Speaker –

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 surrounding 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 – such as the recent introduction of a new proficiency scale, student self-reflection and student goal setting.
