Tier 1 Math: Visuals & Manipulatives
LIMITED3.00 PD
Limited Capacity seats available
How can we better support students who struggle to grasp foundational math concepts in the general education classroom? This workshop focuses on strengthening Tier 1 math instruction by making abstract concepts concrete. With a focus on Recommendation 3 from the What Works Clearing House Practice Guide 26 (2021), participants will learn practical, evidence-based strategies for explicitly teaching students how to use manipulatives and visual models to build deep mathematical understanding.

Secondary Math: End-of-Year Summative Assessments
LIMITED6.00 PD
Limited Capacity seats available
This workshop provides a comprehensive review of the summative assessment and evaluation tasks. While the focus will be on end-of-year exams, we'll also look at how other summative tasks throughout the school year can be used for formative assessment. Participants will analyze real student work and explore how to apply rubrics effectively, with a focus on interpreting criteria that rely on teacher judgment. Through guided discussion, we’ll examine how to assess clarity, justification, and reasoning in student responses, as well as how to ensure consistency and fairness in scoring. This session provides space to reflect on how teacher judgment supports professional evaluation, strengthens feedback practices, and helps make sense of complex student thinking.

Formative Assessment for New Teachers
LIMITED3.00 PD
Limited Capacity seats available
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.

Secondary Math: Rich Tasks and Formative Assessment to Develop Critical Thinking in Competency 1 and 2
LIMITED1.25 PD
Friday September 18, 2026 9:00am - 10:15am EDT
Limited Capacity seats available
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.

This workshop introduces a new style of situational problem designed to get students up, thinking, and engaging with each other’s work. These whole-class tasks feature shared goals or constraints that encourage collaboration while preventing copying, creating a space for meaningful mathematical discussion and problem-solving. Students typically work bell to bell with high levels of focus and participation. In this session, we’ll explore the tasks already available, preview ones currently in development, and offer frameworks for designing your own. Participants will also have the opportunity to experience one of these problems firsthand, thereby gaining a better understanding of how they unfold in real time.
