Assessment, Teaching and Learning (ATL) Conference

Mark your calendars!

ATL + WACC 2026 is April 29-May 1

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’s 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.

Why did we merge?

Planning a statewide conference takes significant time and resources. Merging ATL and WACC lets us pool effort, lower costs, reduce attendance barriers, and strengthen connection across our system.
