Free Webinar – Strategies for Indigenizing K-12 Assessment
How can educators move beyond standardized testing to create assessments that honour diverse ways of learning?
Learning Bird’s Education Consultants Joelle Chemali and Eliana El Khoury host an interactive webinar exploring practical strategies for Indigenizing K–12 assessment.
In this session, Joelle and Eliana unpack the difference between Indigenizing and decolonizing assessment and discuss why these distinctions matter in K–12 classrooms. We explore how conventional testing practices can limit our understanding of student success and how alternative approaches can make learning more inclusive, meaningful, and empowering.
Drawing on Indigenous perspectives on learning and assessment, this webinar highlights strategies that value relationships, lived experiences, and multiple ways of knowing. Educators will gain classroom-ready examples across subject areas and leave with ideas for creating culturally responsive assessment practices that honour the diversity of learners in their care.
