Assessment that Inspires and Empowers Student Learning

The primary purpose of assessment is not to generate marks – it is an act of kindness designed to altruistically cultivate agency in learners that inspires a desire to learn and empowers students with the capacity to engage meaningfully and productively in learning.

Effective Assessment as kindness set teachers needs aside and creates opportunities for students to engage in learning in which they are personally invested. It involves students monitoring and growing their own learning as teachers meet them where they are by providing the guidance each student personally needs to flourish. This breakout session will build off of the keynote to more deeply explore assessment practices that seamlessly weave into learning making assessment both a source of inspiration and a means to enhance student learning through timely, student-driven, supportive guidance.
