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.

You may be thinking, what makes this type of conference different than any other professional development conference I may have attended in the past? At EdCamps, this is a given. So what makes a conference a JEDCamp rather than an EDCamp?

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!

Effective Educators are those that have a set of truths that they live by. It's what they wake up everyday thinking about and striving for.
