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.

The Target Before the Task: Designing Learning Goals
Friday December 4, 2026 9:00am - 12:00pm EST
200-School Board: Room 52A @ 235 Mnt Lesage, Rosemère, QC J7A 4Y6, Canada
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

Working with the C1 Competency: Solves a Situational Problem
Monday January 11, 2027 9:00am - 12:00pm EST
200-School Board: Room 36A @ 235 Mnt Lesage, Rosemère, QC J7A 4Y6, Canada
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.
