Second Annual Assessment Summer Symposium
July & August 2017
Using Assessment to Inform Teacher Practice &
Pedagogical Moves in the K-12 Classroom
The Second Annual Assessment Summer Symposium will focus on the assessment process,
with a closer look at assessment, evaluation and reporting practices that go into a rich and
differentiated learning experience for students in K-12 classrooms.
Participants will have opportunities to meet and work with other K-12 educators from across the
province, to develop methods to plan and provide descriptive feedback to students to move their
learning forward. Digital tools and processes will support learning in this symposium, and
participants will develop and build an e-portfolio to summarize and showcase their learning at
the end of the four days.
