For those who don''t know, Edcamp is a great series of free, unconferences for educators. The Edcamp model is unique in that attendees set the agenda the morning of the conference and the sessions are not led by one person, but are rather a collaboration of both the facilitator and attendees. I highly recommend Edcamps!

Do you think some math teachers are kind of not used to good questions, and they just want kids to learn it? I felt like the emphasis was on “Follow these procedures and just learn the algorithms and you’ll get the right answer in the end.”. They’re going to learn a lot more about the math that way. Gerald: They definitely are.

In all the work I have done with countless educators from across the world I believe we can break them down into two groups. Effective Educators are never satisfied with where they are in their practice and are constantly seeking to figure out the best ways to teach and the best ways students learn. Good Teachers and Great Teachers.
