July 4-6, 2017 How can we use assessment to help students learn rather than to just mark their progress?

Steven and Joanna Levy join us again for three packed days of experiential learning, collaborative grappling, and collegial sharing. Our goal is to equip one another with practical tools to deepen your students’ learning in your Christian school. Hosted by NACE at John Knox Christian School, 795 Highway #8 in Stoney Creek, ON L8E 5J3

Deeper Learning Workshops Common Thread throughout our time together: Concrete instructional practices that you will experience and can implement to engage your students in deeper learning and motivate them to develop their God-given gifts in service to Him. Character and Culture I can build structures and practices that lead my students into wonder and awe of God and creation. Forming the character of Christ in students, classes, and school.

Curriculum Design I can design deep learning activities that develop knowledge and skills in a meaningful context. Real work that meets a real need for real people.
