Hello everyone! 

We are still working out a few Zoom session links and will have all the information to you by 9pm tonight. Until then, don't panic, we haven't forgotten about you :). The website will be updated once the email has gone out. 

Also, we have closed the registration link to ensure no one misses out on the email. However, if you would still like to join us, please send us an email and we will get the information to you.

Thank you for your patience,
​
Janice and Carrie

We are starting to collect your ideas for our virtual Ed Camp on January 23rd. For those of you who are new to the Ed Camp model, the schedule of the day is usually done the morning of the workshop, built from the ideas of those in attendance. The richness of an Ed Camp is allowing participants to talk about what is important to them. To do this, we need your suggestions of topics.

Due to us moving online this year, we are trying a new way to get suggestions to build up our sessions. You can add your idea on a Jamboard we have created for this event. 

Once you have accessed the Jamboard, choose a sticky from the menu on the left. 

Write your idea on a sticky, choose a colour if you would like, then post it to the Jamboard.  You can then move your sticky to another area of the Jamboard if it is blocking another sticky. Please limit yourself to one idea per sticky, but feel free to add as many stickies (topics) as you would like. 

As we get closer to EdcampBCCC, Janice and Carrie will be grouping similar options and creating the sessions. We will send out the final session list and the links to participate in those sessions virtually in the days before the  Ed Camp.

Until then, keep inviting educators, parents, students, trustees, teacher candidates, etc. to join us to share in the conversation. We are thankful to have an online platform this year to include more voices from across the province, across interests and across ages.  We are looking forward to our discussions at EdCampBCCC!

On January 18th 2020, we held our third annual EdCampBCCC - the only EdCamp dedicated to Core Competencies.  Many dedicated educators braved snow storms and an early Saturday morning to share around topics who are important to them. We even had some online participants through our Google Docs. There were lots of discussions about how we would move forward with EdCampBCCC - has it run its course, is it time to focus on something new? 

I think that the situation we are all living through right now is making us think of our professional and personal life in an entirely different way.  Through this, what questions or topics are you wondering about that we may be able to support long-term at a future event? 

Send us an email at edcampbccc@gmail.com or comment here to let us know.

Stay safe. Stay healthy. Stay home. 

We are looking forward to seeing you this Saturday at École McRoberts in Richmond. Until then, take a moment to look through your bookshelves and find a book or two you are ready to part with for our educational book swap!

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 :

8.40 until 9am  - Welcome, Group Norms, and Session organization
9.05  until 10.00 - Session 1

​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.

Carrie and Janice

EdCampBCCC will be back for a 3rd edition on January 18th, 2020 at École McRoberts Secondary School. More details to come soon! Hope to see you there!
