By using different media to assess students work we develop many skills in our students such as communication, creativity, managing information, decision making and overall self-management.  Multimodal assessment can be used as a form of differentiating work for students who may have difficulties with a given topic and can help to provide interest in a topic.

During this session we will look at different methods that can be used to assess students and give feedback on their work.

This webinar begins with looking at Attachment Theory as the foundation for the formation of all relationships in life. I will guide and lead participants in an exploration of how to notice signs of ruptures and disruptions within these relations and techniques to use that can help solidify and strengthen a secure attachment style. This results in your child feeling more capable to explore and express oneself freely.

As a Primary School Principal, your experience may tell you that today’s mix of urgency, high stakes and uncertainty in your school is likely to continue for some time. This is an event for you if you are wondering how you and your school leadership team can continue to respond to the constantly changing challenge of providing education, ensuring a safe physical and online school environment and reassuring and motivating a whole school community. It will also assist you to champion wellness and to communicate with and connect with staff in this uncertain environment.
