Half-day Learning & Networking Experience

Look beyond a single measure
In multilingual and international school communities, every learner brings a unique blend of linguistic, cultural and academic strengths.
This half-day event will help educators look beyond surface-level metrics and explore holistic assessment strategies and responsive, data-informed practices.
Participants will consider how to honour the whole child, including mind, heart and identity, while using educational solutions to create personalised learning experiences, respond to diverse needs and accelerate growth in multilingual learning environments.
The event combines expert input, school-based case studies, breakout sessions, professional discussion and opportunities to connect with educators and school leaders.
