DESCRIPTION:This conference is a 2 ½ day virtual event bringing together Washington’s most beloved annual conferences—SBCTC’s Assessment\, Teaching\, and Learning (ATL) Conference and the ELC’s Washington Canvas Conference (WACC)—to explore the intersections of assessment\, teaching\, learning\, and technology. This year’s theme\, “Heart. Mind. Community.” focuses on supporting one another\, growing together\, and building a stronger human-centered working and learning ecosystem. Come engage with colleagues from across the state and leave with fresh ideas and practical strategies that make a difference for students—and the people who serve them. \nTIDL will be hosting a watch party in the Faculty Center (9-109) so that colleagues across campus can learn and discuss together! \nConference access:\nTIDL will screen the conference in the Faculty Center (9-109) on Wednesday afternoon and all day Thursday (4/29-30th)\, so feel free to drop in!  \nYou can also set up your own access: TIDL has funded access for all Highline faculty and staff\, but you need to fill out the ATL + WACC 2026 Zoom Events form to RSVP.

In this interactive session\, psychologist and educational developer Sarah Rose Cavanagh will guide us through exercises designed to identify courses of action to support student\, faculty\, and staff well-being in an uncertain time. She will share data from psychology\, neuroscience\, and pedagogy to support her proposed actions\, and highlight insights from a new book project on the science of well-being. Attendees will have the opportunity for both reflection and discussion and leave with an action plan for the summer and fall.\n\n\n\n10:45 to 11:30 a.m. – Concurrent Sessions: \n\nUnlock the Power of Multilingual Learning in Your Classroom: Embracing Translanguaging & Culturally Sustaining Pedagogy to Boost Student Success – TIDL will screen this session in the Faculty Center (9-109)\, please join us!\n\nTranslanguaging and culturally sustaining pedagogy for multilingual learners.\n\n\nThe Classroom as a Place of Belonging: Mindful Communication\, Compassionate Pedagogy\, and the Courage to Connect  – TIDL will screen this session in the MIDS Computer Lab (9-110)\, please join us!\n\nMindful teaching practices that support connection and compassion.\n\n\nAddressing Burnout: Communities of Practice for Healing and Reflection\n\nUsing communities of practice to support healing and resilience.\n\n\nEmbedding EDI in Learning Outcomes: A Practical Model for Equitable Student Success\n\nA replicable approach to embedding equity into learning outcomes.\n\n\nHeart Check-up: Building Community and Connections in the Classroom using Student Feedback\n\nUsing feedback and check‑ins to foster belonging and connection.\n\n\nUsing AI to Prepare Students for the Jobs of Tomorrow\n\nRethinking assignments and learning in an AI‑shaped economy.\n\n\n\n12:30 to 1:15 p.m. \n\nStudent Voices on AI in Education – TIDL will screen this session in the Faculty Center (9-109)\, please join us!\n\nStudents share perspectives on how AI is shaping learning and their futures.\n\n\n\n1:30 to 2:30 p.m. \n\nAsk\, Learn\, Connect session\n\n  \nClick here to see Wednesday’s schedule. \n
