Workshop Description
This workshop will explore current thinking and practices in assessing learners in elementary literacy programs. Framing the presentation around eight critical

Practical tools and ideas will be shared to show how consideration of sensible techniques can lead us back to counting what really
counts in accelerating the progress of all readers.
