Presenting mounds of data without real context will be wasted. The Edcamp model of instruction for professional development seems to fit the bill for the needs of both educators and parents. All Edcamp topic sessions are based on conversation and not lecture. I guess for parents we might refer to PD as Parental Development.

Data is important. How, as the technology leader do you provide access to systems that allow teachers to critically analyze data? Are they going to conferences or Edcamps to expand their horizons or see what conversations teachers are having? Understanding it and using it can be powerful. Do they know about #cpchat?

I’ve talked to some administrators who say, “Hey, we did an EdCamp last month, and the teachers loved it. Or “We need you to do this because we see it as a major deficit in our school’s data, and we have to understand it better and do it better.”. And he said, “Nobody should ever make a culture change based on bad data.”.

Steven's sharing of data shows a window of opportunity to reach our families and share our stories in a platform that will be looked at. I've often used social media to share the story of our school using the hashtag #ccslearns but I'll be honest, I think my assumed audience was almost always my professional learning network.

This focus on the “best” teachers also brings the conversation back to over quantifying teaching and does nothing to eliminate the constraints that endless data put on excellent teaching. Also, as NYC educator Brian Jones stated, the research focused on retaining the “best teachers,” but not just retaining teachers, period.

Fed by our own uncertainties, occasional anecdotes, and sensational stories from the media, we ignore the data that overwhelmingly show that digital environments are no worse—and often better—than in-person environments. A few workshops here and there rarely result in large-scale changes in implementation.

She then saw how this came back around to her when she had felt her voice was being shut down at an EdCamp: Every time I opened my mouth to say something it was met with a snarky comment, laughter, or simply dismissed. I have to be honest, after the first two times, I didn’t think much of it.

Teachers won’t ask for help even when student formative data shows they need it if their request for help is misunderstood or even worse – used against them. The most popular form of the unconference is the Edcamp , but many conferences are scheduling an “unconference” day with this same format. It is free.

The problems: personal, political and cultural of these schools may be helped by supported PD, but the foundational issues need more political solutions.

I used to feel the same way about Edcamp; I did not really understand the appeal of the process and thought it seemingly was a waste of time, even though so many people said the exact opposite. It is not about a right and wrong in the process, but more the idea of “I am good with what we are doing at this present time”.
