Assessment is key to students' learning experiences. But we know that Indigenous students face systemic and pervasive barriers that make it more difficult for them to be successful in our schools.

Bring your own assessment toolboxes as we compare, share and discuss strategies together that we've seen work for students and engage with what research tells us are the high-impact practices that can really pay off for our students.
