I attended the BCAMT conference in person. I had an amazing time at the conference and I feel like I learned so much about math education. The three sessions I attended were Helping Students Enjoy Pre-Calculus 11, 12 and Calculus Courses, Standard Based Assessment: Proficiency Levels and Exemplars in Practice, and Curricular Competencies in Secondary Mathematics. I chose these specific sessions (particularly the last two) because my goal is to have a firm grasp on standard based assessment. The idea of using standard based assessment is so new to me and I wanted the opportunity to learn more about it and see how other teachers are approaching standard based assessment. I was surprised to see that veteran teachers are also having a hard time using standard based assessment, which made me realize this is new for all teachers right now and we will all learn together!
It was great to see you at the BCAMT conference! Thanks for these good notes -- sounds like you took away very interesting ideas and observations.
