Assessment should be much more than a tool for measurement—it should inspire and motivate students. Drawing on evidence-based practices, this session provides a ‘cheat sheet’ of strategies to design authentic, real-world assessments that connect learning to life. Learn how to craft tasks that enhance student engagement, deepen understanding, and transform assessment into a meaningful celebration of growth and achievement.

With Hayley Langsdorf, Thoughts Drawn Out

Join Hayley for a brief but powerful deep dive into the art and science of visual notetaking, or ‘sketchnoting’ as the kool kids call it. Learn what it is, why the human brain is wired for it, and some practical exercises to get you started actually doing it!

Sketchnoting brings together the 3 skill domains of visual language, story, and pattern-finding/sense-making. It is a powerful tool on multiple levels; it is great for understanding self, interacting with others, and making sense of the world around us. For students especially, this very teachable toolkit can be applied to live notetaking to increase understanding and retention over time, assignment mapping/planning, and revision, to name a few highly practical applications. Come dip your toe into the water of this fun and useful skillset.
