Proposal summary

Purpose & objective

Participants will be introduced to the Edcamp model and explore its history and growth.
Participants will learn the impact of the model on the teachers who attend, as demonstrated through the latest data collection.
Participants will experience participant-driven professional learning
They will obtain the tools necessary to organize and host an Edcamp themselves: building a session board, sparking conversations, marketing.
Challenge: Teachers unengaged in their own professional learning due to it being based on "Sit and Get" experiences. The lack of teacher agency makes creating student agency in the classroom all the more challenging.
Tools: All things Google for collaborative session board building and shared notes.
