I've Done All these Assessments - Now What?
Thursday February 13, 2025 1:00pm - 2:00pm MST
Salon 03
Feeling overwhelmed by the volume of mandated assessments? Do they seem to consume valuable instructional time without adding real value? While these assessments are often out of our control, we can control how we use the data to drive targeted, impactful instruction.

Join me for an in-depth session using Alberta Education’s K-4 literacy and numeracy assessments to create student learner profiles. Together, we’ll explore strategies to transform raw data into meaningful, personalized instruction.

*Note - we will use the Alberta Education assessments as examples, but the process could be used K-12 with any pre-assessment.
