(May 3) It is a beautiful spring day in Montreal and a short walk from the Metro to the symposium reminds me that it was not so long ago that the streets were covered in snow. Even though a few traces can still be seen here and there, especially on Mount Royal, it is a good thing it has virtually melted and the tree buds look like they will explode any minute now. All in all, a great week for out-of-town visitors set to explore this beautiful city!
I am on my way to the CSTD symposium located at McGill University in the heart of downtown. I have been anticipating this symposium for several weeks. As a trainer, teacher, designer of instruction and lifelong learner, I am eager to network with other professionals working in assessment and evaluation efforts and to learn from their experiences.
As I walk to McGill, I quickly look at the schedule that I have been anticipating for several weeks. I am in need of a coffee and look for the nearest outlet. This is Montreal, after all. We can get real coffee here! After that first sip, I look around for some familiar faces and am surprised by the number of people already present. It seems that close to 200 people from across Canada have registered for the symposium. I see some old friends and arrange for a chat at the coffee break and lunch. I encourage a friend to go to the supper at the Mount Stephen Club because it is a beautiful building and worth the trip.
