Past Events
This interactive workshop invites educators to reimagine assessment as a continuous: an ongoing, collaborative process that actively involves students and fuels deep learning. Together, we will explore strategies, tools, and practices that make conceptual understanding visible, purposeful, and transferable.
This 2-day professional development workshop will explore the purpose and power of inquiry as a framework for learning. Participants will unpack what inquiry truly is, why it matters, and how it shifts the role of the learner from passive receiver to active constructor of meaning.
Through practical strategies, collaborative activities, and guided reflection, educators will learn how to:
Nurture curiosity and motivation in students
Promote engagement and participation through inquiry
Apply inquiry-based practices across grade levels and subject areas
Develop conceptual learning experiences that go beyond rote knowledge

Join us to learn about how to document and support children's learning processes and thinking. The emphasis is placed on how to build a culture of thinking and curiosity that promotes conceptual understanding and theory building. This revolves around high degrees of intentionality and responsiveness by planning for learning that is open-ended and uncertain and invites children to wonder, explore, experiment and play with ideas and theories.
This webinar will look at areas required to promote deep conceptual learning.
• How to develop conceptual understandings
• How to assess conceptual understanding
• The role of provocations in conceptual learning
• How we can follow and build on student interests/theories and wonderings within the conceptual unit

This webinar will focus on planning for conceptual learning with an emphasis on assessment. Ideas will be shared as to the how and why of assessing student conceptual thinking and learning.
