  2. Assessing and Developing CompetenciesApproaches and Resources for the 21st Century Classroom With Alberta leading the way with its work on 21st century competencies, there is now broad agreement across Canada and North America around the types of skills students need for success in tomorrow's world. • But how can our classrooms systematically develop and assess these skills? • How can innovation and critical thinking become hallmarks of student learning? • And how can these strategies be scaled in ways that no longer rely solely on the creativity of individual teachers? Assessing and Developing Competencies: April 16-17, 2013

  3. Session Goals • Over the course of this half-day session, • Participants will explore ways to enhance creativity and collaboration. • Presenters will show how new innovative classroom resources can capture and promote learning in the classroom. • Presenters will also share cognitive research on how peer and self-assessment fosters critical thinking #ABInnovation
