When I was in the classroom I was part of a team that helped to decide the direction our PD at the school level would take. Teachers need to have time to go back to their classrooms and get their hands dirty.

The idea of bringing together major players in education to talk, discuss and debate is already happening, just on a smaller scale with events like #Edchat and Edcamps. Instead of asking questions about the future, we have to question the present. Questioning the present is a much harder task. Questioning the future is easy.

I have to admit, that I’ve avoided edcamps and unconfernces for a while, because they have felt to me like group hugs… warm and cozy, but not a lot about moving my learning forward. Our present education system is built around always finding the ‘right’ answer, but when can the wrong answer be valuable?

A question that haunts me however, at almost any education conference that I attend is: Why are so many (not all) of these educators, who are so skilled in a classroom of kids, so bad at teaching in a room full of adults for professional development? It is probably the key to the success of the Edcamp movement. Adults are practical.
