On one day in August before the students came, and again in January of this year we set up Edcamp style PD days. While our PD days weren't like the traditional Edcamp style (we actually came up with the choices instead of the teachers making the choices), the teachers found the days to be useful.

I have to admit, that I’ve avoided edcamps and unconfernces for a while, because they have felt to me like group hugs… warm and cozy, but not a lot about moving my learning forward. Our present education system is built around always finding the ‘right’ answer, but when can the wrong answer be valuable?

Experts like Bowdoin College education chair Doris Santoro, author of the book “ Demoralized ,” define the concept in moral terms. But systemic pressures, such as top-down initiatives or punitive evaluation systems, can deplete teacher autonomy. Demoralization is systemic—meaning teachers really don’t have control over it.

Anyone who thinks that there is one answer to all that is wrong in education is at the very least ill informed. Public education has had hundreds of years to establish practices and procedures that would ultimately slow down any progressive ideas for change. The best example I can think of is the Edcamp movement.

I had 17 unique educators notice the tweets and respond- three of them were superintendent level educators, a few were edtech edus, at least three were principals or assistant principals and the majority seem to be classroom teachers but I do not know for sure. So what were the results? Which leads me to the WHY of my postings.

The method of doing professional development for educators has largely not changed over the decades. Pedagogy is what most educators are familiar with because it was taught to them to enable them to teach kids. This holds true in local, state, regional and national conferences of most education organizations. Conclusion.
