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)
Even at the best of times, comprehensive assessments of students’ skills and competencies can be a challenge, let alone in the midst of a pandemic. 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.
Previous Fall Pre-Summit Topics:
Supporting K12/Post-Secondary Transitions in the Age of COVID
This panel discussion will focus on policies and initiatives from K12 and Post-Secondary that are helping to assist with the transition between Grade 12 and Higher Education given the COVID reality.

Online Learning Environments: Inspiring Learning Beyond Worksheets
This panel discussion will focus on innovative practices and programs in which educators are going beyond merely delivering content, but rather engaging their classes as citizens, researchers, and co-creators of the world around them.
We chose these topics based on our ongoing dialogue with College Board member institutions, including many of Canada’s top universities, and feedback from some of the 700+ Canadian high schools that use our programs.
