[ASSESSMENT WORKSHOP] [NOVEMBER 2013 - PORT MCNEIL, BC]
I participated in this workshop early in my schooling in hopes that it would help
me in my practicums to better understand the progress of the students. It was a
very valuable workshop that I took a lot of great ideas and information home
from. It made it so that I was more confident in my assessment practices and
able to try new ideas with my students.
