Sharing Event – Bill McKenzie, MISA Leader from the Upper Grand District School Board will share their implementation story of the Teacher and Admin Portal. Hear what their teachers and administrators think about this innovative solution that is transforming their use of data. An open dialogue will follow to discuss strategies for implementation.
The Unveiling – Is it possible to reduce the effort in the report card cycle by 30%? Is it possible to create innovative solutions to make the Board and School Improvement Planning Process easier and more effective? Is it possible to deliver real-time information to teachers and principals to save them time and provide more insight into their schools and students? We think so and we want to show you what is now possible. This session will provide an overview of the new solutions now available.
Building Capacity and Sharing Understanding – Become part of our collaborative network and Shared Services Model.
