This will be a facilitated discussion on changes in science/math education in the last 5 years. I will start with some of the changes I have seen since the introduction of High School Redesign and the competencies introduced in the Ministerial Order. Next, I would share my thoughts on what I have seen so far in the Curriculum change. I will then open up the floor for general discussions. Items of discussion could include: - use of formative assessment - outcome-based assessment - report cards - pons and cons of technology/Social media in the classroom - political changes - ELL/International students - literacy/numeracy
