National Pre-Summit Webinar - Beyond the Bubble Sheet: Assessment Innovations in the Age of COVID

As a prelude to the upcoming Canada Summit to be held at the University of British Columbia in April, the College Board is hosting a series of national virtual workshops. These events will bring together key leaders from postsecondary, public, and private secondary schools/systems to discuss how K-12 and higher education can work together to best equip students to select an academic pathway that will provide them with the skills to thrive academically, professionally, and personally. 

Upcoming Pre-Summit Webinars Topics and Dates:

National Pre-Summit Webinar - Beyond the Bubble Sheet: Assessment Innovations in the Age of COVID (March 4, 1-2 PM ET)

This panel discussion will highlight the great work of Canadian K-12 and Postsecondary educators as well as the innovative ideas and practices in development by some of North America’s leading assessment thinkers.
