EdCampBCCC Registration is live for our 3rd edition!

We are happy to announce that registration is now live for the third annual EdCampBCCC, BC's EdCamp with a focus on Core Competencies. With the final version of the Core Competencies being released last week, we are looking forward to seeing how these changes impact our discussions!

Here is our tentative schedule for the day :
8.00 am until 8.40 - Session proposals and voting, Resource Sharing
8.40 until 9am  - Welcome, Group Norms, and Session organization
9.05  until 10.00 - Session 1 
10.00 until 10.10 - Break 1
10.10 until 11.10 - Session 2 
11.10 until 11.20 - Break 2
11.20 until 12.20  - Session 3
12. 25 until 12.45 pm -  Closing message and Prize draw

​Along with our great sessions, decided by YOU the morning of the EdCamp, here are some changes we are making to make EdCampBCCC more accessible to everyone. 

1 - Parents' Session - We want more parents involved in the discussions, and acknowledge that a barrier may be their understanding of the CCs. We are hoping to offer an overview session that will allow them to understand the gist of the Core Competencies before heading to the open sessions.

2 - Secondary Sessions - We are going to ensure that at least one topic per session time is offered for Secondary Teachers.

3 - Sharing time - In the morning as participants arrive, add their topics, and vote for their choice of sessions, we would love to have you share what you have been doing. This is a great opportunity for conversations around templates, documents, videos, examples, etc. that you have created and want to share with others. (Please note, all sharing should be of FREE resources, not items that are being sold, and respect the privacy of the students if you are sharing examples.)

Along with these changes, we will also host a book exchange as we did last year. Bring an education book to leave on our exchange table, and leave with a new-to-you book. 

As always, parents, students, community members with an interest in education, teacher candidates, etc. are all welcome at this EdCamp! Spread the word - we are hoping to have more participants from various experiences as this enriches our discussions. 

We are so looking forward to seeing you all in January.
