  1. CASS/Alberta Education Learning Symposium 2013: Transformation for All Students Curriculum Coordinator Meeting March 14, 2013

  2. MATHEMATICS • The Mathematics Team is currently working on additional resources that will allow schools to engage with their parents about the teaching of mathematics. New products will be posted on the website as soon as they are completed. Contact Info: Kris Reid at 780-427-3588 Kris.Reid@gov.ab.ca For information in French, please contact: Diane Stobbe at 780-427-7489 Diane.Stobbe@gov.ab.ca

  3. MATHEMATICS ASSESSMENT • Both exams (Math 30-1 and 30-2) were built to the published blueprint and matched the program of studies.  • Teachers and post- secondary representatives, as well as internal staff (Program of Study and Resources, French Language Education Services,  Assessment) validated the exam.  (Math 30-2 was all raw items, so it had additional validation committees)

  4. MATHEMATICS - ASSESSMENT • The % of students writing Math 30-1 and Math 30-2 was approximately the same as the % writing Pure Math 30 and Applied Math 30, respectively.  Since Math 30-2 does have greater post-secondary acceptance, it is hoped that the population will shift (i.e., the hope is that the students who Math 30-2 is intended for will move into this stream)  • Standards Confirmation was held.  Benchmarks of performance for the acceptable standard and the standard of excellence were established.  These results will be used to inform future diploma examination development .
