Rolling through the rural streets of Nottoway County(Nottoway Book-A-Way) and city streets of Richmond(Literacy "Lit" Limo) provided much needed resources to families and is especially important now with the implementation of the Virginia Literacy Act. Hop on board and drop an anchor on the Lit Limo for an exciting ride!

What if students didn't just consume knowledge, but actively created enduring learning resources to support their peers and future classes? This presentation explores how authentic assessment projects enable precisely that. Through examples like study guides, podcasts, videos, games and more, attendees will see how giving students choice in demonstrating mastery unlocks creativity and engagement. But the impact extends far beyond the individual student experience. When these authentic projects are curated and shared, they become part of a continually expanding library of crowdsourced, student-created learning materials for each course. Rather than disposable assignments, student work transforms into self-perpetuating repositories that benefit cohort after cohort. Participants will gain strategies for implementing this transformative model where learners aren't just consumers but creators. By positioning students as knowledge architects, educators cultivate learner autonomy while building robust interdisciplinary resources. Attend this session to revolutionize assessment while harnessing the power of learners as content developers.
