Educational leaders from all over Alabama met together today for EdCamp Leadership at Homewood High School. Trussville City Schools were well represented with leaders from all five of our schools. Since the original Edcamp in 2010 there have been over 700 conferences around the world in 25 countries. Each Edcamp is independently organized and hosted and is free to participants, bringing together passionate educators for a day of learning and growth. The conferences are participant-driven with the sessions developed and facilitated by the teachers and administrators who are attending.
By adopting the un-conference protocol, Edcamps provide access to high quality, personalized professional learning for all educators. Embracing the belief that fellow educators can be some of the most valuable professional development resources for their colleagues, the Edcamp movement has been recognized by countless organizations, including the United States Department of Education, the Bammy Awards for Education, the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development (ASCD), the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE), the TEDx program, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
