• Do You EdCamp?

    So there’s a quiet revolution happening in professional development. Teachers across the country (and around the world) are turning professional development on its head and making it what they want. It’s a resistance.

Post-EdCampLA Links

EdCampLA was January 12, 2013 to West Hollywood at The Center for Early Education

It was an #EduAwesome day. Registration is closed for EdCampLA. If you are curious about EdCampLA, read the information on this page. It gives you an overview of what the day looked like, and what the 2014 EdCampLA will be.

Come enjoy a day with colleagues from California and beyond. Arrive with an idea for a session that you would like to lead or with the anticipation of a full day of learning. A session might explore a technology tool, a discussion about best practices, or a collaborative presentation with multiple facilitators.

During the first hour (8:00-9:00), you will have time to meet other teachers over coffee. There will be an empty session board where you and all attendees can post session titles. Sessions begin at 9:00 am.

Over the course of the day, you will have the opportunity to attend up to four sessions. The rule of the unconference is to “vote with your feet”. If a session doesn’t meet your needs, simply get up and move on to another room.

We will not be providing certificates for the professional development you receive. You will learn great teaching strategies, make new friends, and receive information that you can immediately apply in your classroom and professional life!

Check out a great blog post from the PLP Network,  Unconference: Revolutionary professional learning.
