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. EdCamp is coming back to Connecticut this summer.

The traditional forms of sit-and-get PD are giving way to MOOCs, webinars, Edcamps and flipped learning. One idea that I’ve been thinking a lot about lately is Flipped Faculty meetings. Faculty Meetings aren’t the only thing we can flip. But what does all that mean? So we had to look at how to reclaim some of that time.

The most popular form of the unconference is the Edcamp , but many conferences are scheduling an “unconference” day with this same format. At Edcamps across the world, teachers show up on a Saturday morning to an unconference location. If a session doesn’t meet their needs, they can leave and go to another one.

Non-traditional forms of professional learning such as the use of social media and Edcamps are valued, not dismissed. This type of system adapts learning to meet the needs, pace, interests, and preferences of the learner. Many schools are shifting away from Carnegie units to mastery-based learning.

This was the rationale for starting teacher-centered Edcamps during professional development. Instead of kicking students out, we lead meetings by letting kids know we believe in them. At PTO meetings, I reveal market trends and student data. I want teachers to know we are part of the same team, with a common purpose.
