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. Personalized learning is the conversation in student learning today.

Is it possible with staff to develop criteria on what successful professional learning looks like, and then develop new ideas on how it could be implemented. Is it possible to develop individual learning plans for ourselves to really take ownership of our learning? Professional learning in many places, needs an overhaul.
