The Creative Process: From Studio Chaos to Assessment
Monday September 21, 2026 9:00am - 10:15am EDT
182-RHS: Room TBA @ 530 Rue Northcote, Rosemère, QC J7A 1Y2, Canada
The Creative Process: From Studio Chaos to Assessment explores how the messy, unpredictable stages of art-making can become meaningful evidence of student learning. Grounded in the Quebec Arts Education curriculum, this workshop looks at how teachers can encourage risk-taking, experimentation, problem-solving, and reflection while creating a studio environment that feels both creative and manageable. Participants will leave with practical strategies for documenting and assessing the creative process, not just the final product.

Secondary Math: Rich Tasks and Formative Assessment to Develop Critical Thinking in Competency 1 and 2
Monday September 21, 2026 9:00am - 10:15am EDT
182-RHS: Room TBA @ 530 Rue Northcote, Rosemère, QC J7A 1Y2, Canada
Rich tasks can deepen student understanding, promote critical thinking, and encourage meaningful engagement without sacrificing rigour. In this hands-on workshop, teachers will explore classroom-ready examples that help students reason, justify, and reflect on their learning. We’ll look at how rich tasks can be used in everyday instruction, as well as how tasks that develop the C1 competency can help students prepare for summative C2 assessments. Participants will also have time to work directly with selected examples and consider how they could be adapted for their own classrooms. We’ll also explore practical strategies for creating rich tasks using existing materials, helping reduce prep time without compromising quality. Whether you’re new to rich tasks or looking to expand your toolkit, this session offers concrete steps for making critical thinking a natural part of your math classroom.

Monday September 21, 2026 9:00am - 10:15am EDT
182-RHS: Room TBA @ 530 Rue Northcote, Rosemère, QC J7A 1Y2, Canada
Adolescent literacy is a shared responsibility across all subject areas. This interactive session explores how secondary educators can apply Science of Reading principles through practical, evidence-based strategies that support multisyllabic word reading, Tier 2 vocabulary development, fluency, comprehension, and disciplinary literacy. Participants will engage with classroom-ready routines, including vocabulary instruction and the "Get-the-Gist" strategy, to strengthen literacy outcomes and student understanding across the curriculum.
