Keynote SpeakerMyron Dueck

Myron Dueck is a vice principal and teacher in School District 67 in British Columbia, Canada. Over the past 17 years, he has had experience in teaching a variety of subjects ranging from grades 4 to 12.

Beginning in 2006, Myron developed a number of assessment and grading systems in which students have greater opportunity to show what they know and adapt to the feedback they receive.

As a teaching and administrative leader, Myron has been a part of district work groups and school assessment committees that have further broadened his access to innovative steps taken by others. Myron has visited many school districts and conferences across North America and Europe speaking of his experiences and showing a variety of student-friendly

assessment procedures. He has twice been published in EL Magazine and his best-selling book, Grading Smarter, Not Harder – Assessment Strategies that Motivate Kids and Help Them Learn was released by ASCD in July 2014.

Featured Presentation: Ch-ch-ch-Changes – Turn and face the strange changes.8:20 – 9:20 Perhaps David Bowie sang it best, ‘Times may change me, but I can’t change time.’ There is no denying that massive and transformational forces are at play in the global education arena. The Digital Information Revolution has been touted as the biggest change agent since the invention of the printing press. As the ground moves beneath our feet, are we preparing our students for an uncertain future or the one that seemed predictable a decade or two ago? Myron Dueck will present the case that through our instructional, technological, grading and assessment procedures we are constantly sending messages, and too often these messages are rooted in the 1980s rather than the 2020s. Our students will be heading into the future with or without us, and perhaps it is truly time to concern our preparation for what comes next. Despite our map forward looking a little blurred, there are signposts indicating that the world of education is adapting. Instruction and assessments that include inquiry, differentiated instruction, exploration and problem solving may certainly prove effective for an uncertain future.

Innovation and Assessment in the Modern Classroom—Engaging Students Through Emerging Technology

Presenter: Myron Dueck Room: B3 Availability: Session 2

Innovation in the classroom is essential to engaging today’s students. Experienced educators often feel uncomfortable with the ‘new’ because they have come to rely on traditional methods that seem safe, trusted and familiar. As the technological landscape changes to include iPads, Twitter, social media and other digital technologies, how can teachers keep pace with assessments that are appropriate and relevant? In this session, Myron Dueck will provide examples of how both formative and summative assessments can incorporate technologies such as iPad apps, Twitter, QR codes, Coaches Eye, online grading systems and Google Docs. The use of video and song will also be discussed and the incorporation of the Flipped Class model will be addressed.(Designed for ALL Teachers)

Creativity and Innovation are Great, But How do Educators Assess Them?

Presenter: Myron Dueck Room: B3 Availability: Session 3

Creativity and technological innovation will be essential tools for success in our changing world, but educators who wish to embrace change in the classroom face inevitable challenges. Teachers who want to foster creativity in the classroom may worry about losing control and credibility. Teachers often struggle to assess information that is conveyed in ways that fall outside the norm and may ponder, ‘If creative and innovative

students displayed knowledge in different ways, how would I assess it?’ Myron will share how he has adapted his assessments to incorporate technological innovation, increased critical thinking and student creativity. By letting students in on the structure and purpose of assessments, and by welcoming their opinions and insight, students have been shown to be far more engaged, empowered and resilient. Furthermore, these results are most powerful when struggling learners feel that the avenues to display their knowledge have been widened. Participants in this session will see first-hand how assessments can be adapted in order to assess knowledge in whatever form it may be displayed, and how student accountability is simultaneously strengthened.(Designed for ALL Teachers)
