In all the work I have done with countless educators from across the world I believe we can break them down into two groups. Effective Educators are those that have a set of truths that they live by. They know they have limits yet are constantly seeking minute improvements to continue growing themselves as an educator.

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!

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.

I hadn''t ever been to an EdCamp before, so to attend two in two days was quite amazing. One event was in person, the other was online (a first not only for me, but for edcamps!). So this is Part I: mainly about the resources I gathered at EdCamp Honolulu , October 19, 2013. Part II will be about EdCamp Online. ?

Educators today can no longer just walk into the classroom, shut their door and teach. In every facet of our practice there are other educators doing amazing things that we can all learn from. And rightly so.

As educators one would expect that teachers and teacher/administrators should be experts on the best most effective and efficient methods of getting large groups of children to understand, learn, and use information responsibly to create more information. This is not a format unfamiliar to educators.

I often see this question in Twitter chats, in keynotes, or when it’s asked of esteemed panelists: “How do we create real , systemic change in education?” We should never underestimate the power of a group of people who are well-informed about the possibilities available to our students. The power lies with us.

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.

These concepts should also fuel educators seeking to amplify their school missions and do their jobs well. What makes this group special is that not only do their conversations take place online, but also the group regularly—and intentionally—schedules face-to-face gatherings, every four to six weeks, to allow people to connect in person.
