Have you ever been in a professional learning (PL) experience where you don’t keep looking at the time, checking Facebook, or texting people? I spend several Saturdays a year at an Edcamp , an unconference-style professional development (PD) for all educators. The energy at an Edcamp is electric!

The session on grant writing, for example, was a dud because everyone there wanted to learn how to write them and nobody knew where to start. Even if you send out a group email for people to meet at a coffee shop on a particular afternoon, you’re technically starting an unconference. HOW TO DO A SMALL UNCONFERENCE.

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. It is a great way to learn, share, and connect with other educators.

Whereas in the beginning, it felt more focused on digital learning and ed-tech, this year felt more like it was a hub for relevant education conversations. Embracing values that center empathy, compassion, and learning with courage at the center helps us all. Thus, organizers implicitly asked participants to choose their own adventure.

Options range from continuing home learning programs full-time, to fully reopening classrooms with or without additional public or outdoor spaces and staggered schedules, to hybrid approaches.

This past Saturday I attended Edcamp Boston, an "unconference" set in the wonderful Microsoft NERD center overlooking the Charles River in Cambridge. Another way to say this is that teachers themselves create their sessions based on what they want to learn for the day! I learned a lot from all the conversations and my brain stretched.

When I was a full-time classroom teacher, I took advantage of the opportunity to learn from and listen to others. Now that I’m no longer in the classroom, I still want to get a sense of how teachers think about learning and sharing their practices. Only recently did I finally get why I kept coming back.
