Professional Development and Faculty Meetings are typically held face-to-face and many times are longer than they need to be, or too much time is spent on things that only affect a small percentage of those present. There are some tools and resources that can be used to change how and when PD and Meetings are held.

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.

Quality professional development rests in the ability of the organization to not only meet their needs, but also that of its constituents. Nothing is more important than our own learning if we are to not only meet the demands of the profession, but also the needs of our students. Something has to give though. So what did I miss?

Yet, the point I rarely see brought up (unless I do) is what happens once the teacher meets the school building. We also have examples of teachers building their professional sustenance in the form of Edcamps, unconferences, and meetups. For others, it’s that city or statewide convening focused on a particular concern.

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.
