CAfLN Conference 2024 - Assessment as Communication
Look Who's Talking!
The Canadian Assessment for Learning Network is committed to supporting the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action in relation to education (#62 and #63). As a Pan-Canadian organization dedicated to the implementation of assessment for learning, we recognize the importance of working towards reconciliation, decolonization, and Indigenization in all aspects of education. We recognize that this learning journey is ongoing and rooted in relationship, reciprocity, and respect. We believe we have a responsibility to both continue our own learning and development while providing opportunities to share and elevate the voices of Indigenous educators, scholars, and knowledge keepers.
CAfLN is a Pan-Canadian non-profit network dedicated to nurturing and sustaining Assessment for Learning (AfL) as a means to maximize student learning in educational institutions across Canada.
CAfLN connects educators, administrators, policy-makers and researchers dedicated to establishing and sustaining high quality AfL in elementary, secondary and tertiary education.

Transforming Assessment: Equitable Assessment Practices in the Age of AI
October 1 - 3, 2026 | Yellowknife, Northwest Territories
Hosted by CAfLN (Canadian Assessment for Learning Network)
Weblink: Conference Program and Speakers
Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping education, challenging long-held assumptions about learning, evidence, and assessment. As AI becomes embedded in classrooms, educators are being called to rethink how we assess learning in ways that remain equitable, meaningful, and human-centered.
Join educators, leaders, and researchers from across Canada to explore how assessment practices can evolve in this new landscape. Through keynotes, research-informed sessions, and practical workshops, participants will examine AI’s impact on classroom assessment while keeping equity, student agency, and professional judgment at the center.
Grounded in Canadian research and real classroom experiences, this conference invites participants to question traditional grading practices, explore new approaches to assessment for learning, and consider what truly matters in education.
Come to Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, to engage in bold conversations and collaborative learning as we work together to transform assessment in the age of AI.
