đ BONUS - The Canadian Assessment Centre
In this bonus episode of Assess THAT with Tom & Nat, weâre excited to introduce the Canadian Assessment Centre (CAC) â a new national hub dedicated to helping schools modernize their assessment and grading practices with clarity, credibility, and care.
Â
We share the story of why CAC was created, outline our Charter, Vision, and Mission, and highlight whatâs coming: free webinars, mini-courses, on-site PD, and national conferences. We also announce our first-ever national conference, taking place on April 9â10, 2026, in Vancouver, BC â a coast-to-coast gathering designed for Canadian educators to connect, collaborate, and shape the future of assessment. While CAC is built by Canadians, for Canadians, we warmly invite our U.S. and international colleagues to join us in learning and leading together.
