  • Émilie Brochu, EED Pedagogical Advisor, ALF/PANA
  • Cédrick Jeanpierre, educational consultant in language skills
  • Stéphane Lachance, Mathematics Pedagogical Advisor

Description (learning methods, topics covered)

  • Morning: Transforming assessment practices and rethinking pedagogical differentiation to ensure every student's success.
    Teachers will reflect on and discuss effective teaching practices in face-to-face group sessions, taking into account the three intentions of assessment. Pedagogical consultants will present the differentiation of assessment strategies using triangulation, and teachers will have the opportunity to put it into practice through small group and school team activities.
  • Afternoon: The collaborative classroom in literacy, plurilingualism and mathematics
    Based on the research of Peter Liljedahl of Frasier University, the collabo-reflective classroom is an innovative technique that engages students in their learning. School teams will work in groups to implement this approach, which will have a powerful impact on the classroom. Through discussion and group activity, school teams will explore assessment, differentiation and the use of technology with the collabo-reflective classroom.
