Midwinter Retreat 2026 - January 17, 2026

Re-Assessing Assessment: Learning from Youth Perspectives, Storytelling, and the Arts
with Dr. Limarys Caraballo


January 17, 2026
9 AM - 12 PM
UAlbany ETEC Building
1220 Washington Avenue, Albany, NY 12222


Join the Capital District Writing Project as we welcome Dr. Limarys Caraballo to lead us in an examination of our own positionalities as educators to allow for a more nuanced understanding of the multiple identities-in-practice that students negotiate in their own lives and academic experiences, and how those identities are shaped by and through assessment.

We will also be joined by local young writers who will share their writing and perspectives. Across the morning, participants will have multiple opportunities to write, share, and connect with others.

We invite school leaders, community educators, preservice teachers, high school students, and K-college educators of all content areas and grade levels to join us.

Dr. Limarys Caraballo is an Associate Professor of English Education at Teachers College, Columbia University. Her research focuses on students’ multiple identities and literacies, Youth Participatory Action Research (YPAR), and teaching English in diverse sociocultural contexts.

Cost: $25 for teachers, education leaders, and faculty members.

This event is FREE for high school students and UAlbany students.


Space is limited! Register in advance.

Participants can earn 3 CTLE hours by registering through the Greater Capital Region Teacher Center.

Parking available at the ETEC Building.
