All too often in education – whether that be at a conference, in a professional learning workshop, or even at a faculty meeting, we have become used to one person in the room being the “expert”, or the “Oz” around a particular topic. This post was also a guest post for McGraw-Hill Education. If no, then why not?

All too often in education – whether that be at a conference, in a professional learning workshop, or even at a faculty meeting, we have become used to one person in the room being the “expert”, or the “Oz” around a particular topic. Are you making time for others to share their stories? If no, then why not?

While we would like to believe every meeting, presentation, or breakout workshop was meaningful, relevant, and engaging, the truth is sometimes they aren’t. Read on to understand how this model may be useful to provide a worthwhile experience for those who attend your event, meeting, conference, symposium, summit, or retreat.

With easy access to websites, blogs, online PD, webinars, YouTube, workshops, and social media, finding digital resources is not hard to do. Ugghh, help, I can’t keep up! Organizing what we find, however, for efficient access when we need it, might not be so easy. Librarians can (and MUST!)

We go to edcamps, conferences, webinars, etc. Looking at it through the workshop facilitator/presenter lens, I’m just not into trying to cover 60 tools in 60 minutes or whatever other catchy title there is for it. and get filled up with so many new ideas and resources but we don’t know where to start.

Reading the book Edupreneur and meeting a few new people at ACSD Empower18, I am ready to take this concept to a bigger level next year by creating opportunities for teachers to submit a proposal for innovation after going through the design thinking process with their idea. I blog my thoughts on a regular basis for all to see.

in a Future Ready Schools workshop. Instead of requiring every teacher to attend the same trainings on the same topics, why not offer a range of options and allow teachers to choose sessions that best meet their needs? These are issues I’ll be exploring next month in Washington, D.C.,

Meeting this challenge is a huge task. Most districts don’t have funding to send teachers to national conferences, or to host keynote speakers, but instead have found ways to revamp the look of Professional Learning to meet the needs of their staff in non-traditional ways. One PL strategy that seems to work well are Edcamps.

Most districts don’t have funding to send teachers to national conferences, or to host keynote speakers, but instead have found ways to revamp the look of Professional Learning to meet the needs of their staff in non-traditional ways. Edcamps , based on an Unconference model , are free, discussion-based sessions.

A few workshops here and there rarely result in large-scale changes in implementation. For instance, teacher-driven “unconferences” or “edcamps,” at which educators propose and facilitate discussion topics, can be powerful mechanisms for fostering professional dialogue and learning.

Actively look for PD that will be meaningful for you, such as free EdCamps in your area , and seek opportunities to learn and connect with other educators whenever you can. One year it was to run a Reader’s Workshop. Professional development can also include informal discussions with coworkers.

But these conferences are not like an edcamp or an unstructured unconference of the kind you may have heard of. This one focuses on getting educators to define some of their biggest challenges and then work together to figure out solutions in a workshop format that draws heavily from the world of design thinking.

How school leaders run faculty meetings and inservice time should be a direct reflection of the type of instruction they are seeking in the classroom. With students, the expectation is to “meet them where they are” or “teach at the speed of learning,” and yet current practice is often “hurry up and do it this way.” Start investing it.

Hundreds of conferences, workshops, MOOCS, edcamps, professional journals, blogs, the list seriously goes on and on. There are a lot of options for professional development. If you’re like me, your inbox and mailbox have a pretty consistent stream of offerings. I have to say, they are seriously SO amazing (only a little biased)!
