Hello EdCampers!

This year, Carrie and Janice have decided to take a year off from organizing EdCampBCCC. Janice is on an educational leave working on other projects and Carrie is busy preparing for her adventure to Antarctica as a Grosvenor Teacher Fellow.

We appreciate your support over the years and will decide next year how we decide to move forward with EdCampBCCC.

Thank you so much, 
Janice and Carrie

What a great learning community we have!  

Thank you so much to everyone who attended our 5th EdCamp on BC's Core Competencies. There were so many great discussions and lots of learning happening. If you missed the event, you can catch up on the discussions and resources here by clicking on the session link.

We'd really appreciate if you could take a moment to fill out the feedback survey you received by email. We are always looking at making this event as useful for participants as possible and we welcome your feedback. Even if you weren't able to attend, please let us know what would have worked better for you.

As you reflect on your learning after the event or if you have questions around the new reporting order, keep using the hashtags #edcampbccc  and #bcedchat or tag us @edcampbccc to keep the conversation going. 

Looking forward to continuing the conversation with you all!
Carrie and Janice

Last chance to sign up is this Friday January 27th at 4pm. After that, Zoom and Google Doc links with be shared to everyone who has registered. We hope to see you there!

Register here and feel free to share the link with colleagues, friends, admin and others that you think may be interested.

Sunday, January 22nd, we will be starting our discussion around core competencies as part of #bcedchat's Twitter chat. Starting at 7pm, follow along with the #bcedchat  & #EdCampBCCC hashtags to join in on the conversation!

We will be pulling some of the subjects we chat about tonight to add to our breakout sessions on Saturday, so if there are any topics you want to discuss, please join us and let us know. You can also leave us a comment here.

Looking forward to sharing and learning with you, 

Carrie and Janice

The return to school in January has been hard. After reaching out to participants, we have decided to go with the majority and postpone EdCampBCCC. We will release a new date as soon as we find more stability in schools. 

Although the event for tomorrow has been postponed, please continue contributing to the Jamboard. Those questions and topics will be used for a slow chat on #bcedchat on Core Competencies starting on Sunday, January 16th. 

We are looking forward to hosting you all again soon. If you have any questions, please reach out.

Janice and Carrie

On January 15th, 2022, we will be hosting our fifth annual EdCampBCCC. As our second year as a virtual conference, we are looking forward to sharing and learning with and from educators, parents, students, and anyone with an interest in education, around Core Competencies and so many other topics!  As always, participants from anywhere are invited to attend, although the BC Curriculum and Core Competencies will be at the root of most discussions.

Please visit our registration form to sign up.

Looking forward to "seeing" you in January!

Janice and Carrie

This year has been full of changes and adapting. EdCampBCCC was no exception. On January 23rd, we took our learning online for our first virtual edition!  For those of you who were able to join us, thank you so much! If you need a reminder, or for those of you didn't make it, you can read through the Google Docs where so many great conversations were captured and resources were shared. While you are there, you can also check out the information from previous years!

We received lots of great feedback from the event that will help us make decisions moving forward. Many people appreciated the online version as travelling in January can be a bit difficult (and costly and less environmentally conscious!). We really appreciated how being virtually allowed a variety of people from around not only BC but also North America, join us. We also really appreciate how parents and teacher candidates participated - your questions help us rethink what we are doing, make us reflect on our practices, and are important in making us all better educators. 

We hope that through the year you can continue to share around your learnings on the core competencies. The EdCampBCCC community has always received lots of support from the #BCedchat community. You can also join #BCedchat around a variety of topics on Sunday nights at 7pm PST on Twitter and keep learning from each other.

Thank you for your support and for being part of our learning community.

Hello EdCampers!

We are looking forward to welcoming you to the 4th annual EdCampBCCC tomorrow, Saturday, January 23rd! Thank you to everyone who shared their topics, is hosting a Zoom room, is chat hosting or who offered a draw prize. The shift to virtual is an adaptation and we couldn’t do it without your help and patience!

Here is a reminder of tomorrow’s schedule:

9 am - Welcome, territory acknowledgement and opening remarks
9.20 am to 10.20 am - Session 1
10.20 to 10.30 -Break and room change
10.30 to 11.30 - Session 2
11.35 to 11.45 - Closing remarks and draw

As in the past, we have Google Docs to be able to record important information and resources and interesting tidbits that are shared throughout our sessions. These documents are open for a week after the event for you to continue to add to. After a week, the documents are closed for editing but remain for consulting. The links for tomorrow’s documents, as well as all of the information shared in our last three EdCamps are available to you here. 

For each session, you will find the topic and Zoom information in your email. For your safety, we would ask that you please refrain from sharing the Zoom links with anyone. If anyone you know wants to join and wasn’t able to sign up, please have them email us. We will send out another round of information Saturday morning if needed. We also ask that you refrain from taking and sharing pictures of your screen where people’s faces or names can be identified.  Thank you for your cooperation.

Looking forward to seeing you all online tomorrow!
