About this Learning Opportunity

In our current reality of student moving into an online learning environment, performance tasks are a great way to help students keep focused on learning and creates a platform for students to demonstrate their knowledge in an authentic "ungoogle-able" manner.  Join us to examine how this process can ensure that assignments and assessment become more authenti and more meaningful to students.

"I" Statements:  I will learn how to use performanc based learning and assessment to inform the design of future learning experiences and evidence of student learning.

All learning opportunities with the ERLC regional team will focus on the Alberta Education and district priority areas.

This learning opportunity is being subsidized through funding from Alberta Education.
