Formative Assessment for New Teachers
Monday September 14, 2026 9:00am - 12:00pm EDT
200-School Board: Room 36A @ 235 Mnt Lesage, Rosemère, QC J7A 4Y6, Canada
This workshop helps new teachers use formative assessment as a powerful tool for student growth. We’ll explore how effective formative practices deliver timely, actionable feedback that helps students learn from mistakes and recognize progress. Participants will examine a range of techniques, from quick check-ins to structured tools, and learn to choose the right approach for different stages of learning. We’ll also consider how formative assessment fits within an ongoing cycle of instruction, feedback, and revision. By the end, you’ll have a practical toolkit to guide learning and build student confidence through meaningful assessment.

184-LRHS: Room TBA @ 448 Av. d'Argenteuil, Lachute, QC J8H 1W9, Canada
In this workshop participants will learn how to code a simple physical computing setup on a Raspberry Pi using motors, lights, etc. and python programming language.  It will be an opportunity to have a hands-on experience with the equipment and practice a coding exercise which you could then adapt or use on your equipment back at your school.

This workshop will be aimed at beginners and teachers who may be interested in this topic but may not know how to get started or how to incorporate physical computing using a Raspberry Pi computer.

184-LRHS: Room TBA @ 448 Av. d'Argenteuil, Lachute, QC J8H 1W9, Canada
This interactive session invites adult education teachers to explore a practical framework for visualizing and monitoring student progress in a self-paced, modular context. Participants will engage in collaborative reflection and hands-on activities to identify key indicators of student readiness, integrate qualitative and quantitative data, and experiment with tools that support informed decision-making. The session focuses on developing simple, effective tracking systems that help reduce the cognitive load of monitoring each student’s progress

New teachers are often juggling curriculum expectations, classroom routines, student needs, and assessment demands all at once. Clear learning targets can make that work more manageable by helping teachers identify the purpose of a lesson, choose appropriate tasks, provide focused feedback, and help students understand what they are learning and why. In this session, participants will practice turning curriculum expectations into clear, student-friendly learning targets and consider how those targets can support planning, instruction, and assessment

This workshop helps new teachers demystify the C1 competency (Solves a Situational Problem) and see it as more than a large end-of-year task. We will explore a range of ways to build this competency throughout the year, including learning prompts, collaborative activities, creative projects, and more structured tasks. Participants will also consider how C1 can be assessed formatively and summatively to support student growth in high school mathematics.
