“Assessment Today: Brighter Tomorrows”

Call For Presenters

Effective assessment is more than just measuring student knowledge—it is the engine that drives continuous improvement across an entire school district. For the Spring Symposium 2027, we are seeking dynamic proposals from educators and administrative leaders who are successfully using assessment data to inform action, shape instruction, and elevate student achievement at every level of the educational system.

Whether you are a classroom teacher adjusting Tier 1 instruction in real time, a building leader guiding professional learning communities, or a district team using macro-level data for strategic alignment, we want to hear your story.
