Calculus Instruction in Atlantic Canada Conference 2026

The purpose of this workshop is to bring together high school and university educators from across the Atlantic region to discuss evidence-based pedagogy and innovative instructional methodologies used in introductory math courses. From these discussions, we aim to better understand the needs of our students and develop courses and resources which address these needs. This year’s topic is “Assessing student learning in the age of AI”. We will discuss how AI has affected the teaching of mathematics at the high school and university level. We hope to develop ideas regarding how to use AI to support student learning, as well as reflect on ways to further strengthen numeracy in our students without the use of AI. We hope to address how to create authentic, compassionate, reasonable assessments while accounting for student use of generative AI. This event consists of an invited speaker, a panel discussion, and small group discussions.
