Technically, if one trusts the etymology, the best way for a teacher to confer with other educators would be an educator conference. Meanwhile, the most enthusiastic listeners whisper to each other, or form mini-groups outside the conference walls, maybe even at a social gathering later that day. HOW TO DO A SMALL UNCONFERENCE.

For anyone who has seen me do a presentation at a conference, you may know that I also participate in the conference as well. Yet, the point I rarely see brought up (unless I do) is what happens once the teacher meets the school building. Larger conferences, for example, intend on breadth over depth.

I attended my first EdCamp, called JEDCampNYNJ and on a Sunday last spring. I was fortunate enough to attend incredible sessions and meet some very passionate educators. You may be thinking, what makes this type of conference different than any other professional development conference I may have attended in the past?

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!

Collaboration is one of the most valued features of meeting with other teachers, and projects such as EdCamp have demonstrated how successful this informal style of unconference can be in inspiring and enabling teachers. Meeting and working in small groups can achieve a great deal between teachers.

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.

One of the things that always bothered me as an educator is how polarized I often felt as a private school educator when I attended conferences. Oftentimes the conferences are sponsored by state education departments and even in the opening sessions I can feel completely confused at the acronyms and current mandates being discussed.
