This is my first time being in Boot camp, actually I didn't like it! It wasn't interactive between us and speakers! First session for School leadership was very boring, the second session was more useful but very rush! There is No amazing coffee or drinks! Very poor and not respect our time that we came from outside Dubai! I feel bad that I waste my time and my weekend for learning nothing!!!

The Common Core Bootcamp provided valuable insights into conceptual teaching, differentiation, and MAP-aligned strategies. I appreciated the focus on higher-order questioning and scaffolding, which will help me better support diverse learners.

The common Core Boot Camp was amazing❤️

# data[].attributes.body
This was my first opportunity to attend CCBC. I thoroughly enjoyed the sessions I was able to attend.

I would suggest dividing the Strands into 2 days Friday-Saturday) to allow participants to attend more sessions. As a leader it’s important to attend both strands. A Leadership day and an Educator day would be amazing!

The targets for most sessions in both strands were appealing so I would’ve liked to be able to attend them all. The times overlapped a little, so I feel I missed out.

# data[].attributes.body
I am happy and grateful to spend my Saturday learning with the facilitators. I'm looking forward for more soon by God's grace🙏❤️

Thank you Dr. Nadera ♥️

Thank you for the talks and thoughts. I took very good information regarding the unpacking the standards as well as the fun activity with miss Nicole in stem in action.

# data[].attributes.body
Can we consider giving certificates to facilitators at the beginning of the day? This way they are there to receive it AND everyone is aware of who to look for going into the different sessions… There’s a name with a face. At the end of the session facilitators are tired and want to clean up. Just a thought.

# data[].attributes.body
The boot camp was tantalizing and comprehensive. The sessions "Elevating Instruction: A Deep Dive into the Common Core Standards with AI and Technology" and “Increasing Engagement and Thinking in the Classroom" were engaging and provided innovative strategies that can be implemented in the classroom.

Overall the boot camp was a riveting experience that provided educators with opportunities to grow and develop our knowledge of common core standards through innovation.

Great session. I had a much needed refresher on PYP. I went because I haven't taught in an IB school in 4 years and wanted an opportunity to revisit the subject matter.

Not organized, keynote speakers are not aware of the next speaker, it was visible that it is marketing for common core

Recommendations:

Improve time Management and the directions to the different events especially considering that a lot of participants were from out of Dubai.

This was my second time attending the Common Core Bootcamp. It was an amazing learning experience as usual!

It was my first time attending a Leadership Strand session. This one was by Dr Jamie Cardwell. What an enlightening session! A lot of take-aways for my classroom and department. When's the next Bootcamp? Will definitely be attending ☺️

This was my first time attending the Common Core Boot Camp and it most definitely lived up to the hype. The experience was enjoyable and informative. Equally, the opportunity to network was brilliant. The actually presentations were brilliant -especially the discussion based session attended at the end. I believe it was a great opportunity had by all to listen to the viewpoints of other educators and debate perspectives based on experience and context. This allows for reflection which may allow you to make better informed decisions.

I really liked Dr Carla she gave strategies that can help at every level teacher middle lead and principal to reinforce common core she also gave books and posters for reference very good

# data[].attributes.body
Too much talking during intro so much that the people loose interest

Coffee stations need more stock

Ran out of subway disappointing

The presenters were good but the organization needs to be much better

Have to invest more in the hospitality

I really enjoyed the last session with Carla the session was really good I would drive back to attend a session like that and she even shared the presentation with everyone to use if they wanted and she shared real resources best one in my opinion

I love how you used different case studies and we could all resonate with each type of learner. You made it seem very to do, and clear to understand there is no one way or right way, we must do what we can for the students regardless the boundaries. Also, i like how you change think pair to turn and learn. Thank you Ms. Mariaa

Overall a great event, a good experience however a few things to be considered for the next event:

1- IT and student support should be available in a larger quantity on campus

2- Computers and Wifi should be readily available and passwords should be sent out to facilitators for in class devices + wifi password to attendees in the confirmation email

3- In September 2024, all facilitators were given the box with the gift plus a certificate however this year facilitators were only given a certificate and hosts/ leaders were given a box- everyone should have got the box with the plate/ award as time/ money and effort was invested by facilitators in this out of this from their own pocket. I feel this was a disappointment as we worked hard and should have received atleast that award/box.

4- A clear map should have been displayed where each room is and which facilitator should be in which room

5- An email should have been sent to facilitators to let us know how many and who is attending each session for preparation purposes and what exactly our room would look like (auditorium style or collab class style)

6- As a show of respect facilitator lunches should been sent to their rooms as they were either busy teaching or setting up and many missed the chance plus water/ beverages should have been available for the facilitators in each room

7- Time management esp keynote speakers- they threw off the schedule which had a domino effect.

Overall a good experience but these elements would have made it even better. Honest feedback goes a long way.

It’s been such an inspiration to attend a #CommonCoreBootcamp today at the American University in Dubai. Was especially thrilled to attend the session by Maaria Kashif on differentiation and intervention techniques. Definitely going to apply these in my classroom.
