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.
TIDL will be hosting a watch party in the Faculty Center (9-109) so that colleagues across campus can learn and discuss together!
