🌍✨ 29th Education Leadership Forum: Registrations Open Now!
As education evolves, so must the ways we understand and measure learning. Traditional assessments often fall short of capturing the full spectrum of student growth, creativity, critical thinking, and social-emotional development.
The 29th Educational Leadership Forum, on the theme ‘Reimagining Assessments: Measuring What Matters’, invites educators, leaders, and changemakers to explore bold, innovative approaches to assessment that reflect the complex, holistic nature of learning. From performance-based evaluations to culturally responsive and competency-driven models, this Forum will delve into how we can align assessments with what truly matters for learners and society.
Join us from Apr 30-May 21 to reimagine the future of assessment - one that enables, includes, and transforms.
