Professional Responsibility
“On the two school days of your assigned teachers’ convention, you have a legal and professional responsibility to attend convention. If you are not able to make it safely to your assigned convention, however, your collective agreement may include impassable roads or inclement weather clauses that you can access. If your collective agreement does not include language specific to road conditions or weather, you may make use of the personal leave clauses of your agreement in most cases. Please be aware that using any of these types of leave may require you to pay substitute costs, forego a portion of your salary and benefits, or report to your school or another work location in your district. Refer to your collective agreement for more information. Should you require any additional information or if you need assistance interpreting your collective agreement, please contact Teacher Employment Services at 1-800-232-7208 or 780-447-9400.”

Assessment is pivotal to student learning, extending far beyond conventional tests and products. In this session, we'll emphasize its significance, exploring assessment in its broader context. We'll delve into the practical aspects of triangulation—employing diverse assessment methods to gain a holistic view of student progress. Furthermore, we'll equip participants with essential skills for curriculum mapping and share strategies to streamline the assessment process for teachers in grading and reporting while optimizing student learning. Join us for an engaging session that offers a fresh perspective on assessment professional development, promising valuable insights for all attendees.

Why (+Assessment in Building Thinking Classrooms)?
While this session is intended for all teachers, no matter their current practice and experience, it should be a keen interest to those currently engaging in Building Thinking Classrooms and wanting to improve their assessment practices.
