Do any of these questions ever cross your mind?
- How does the one-to-one device initiative work on other campuses?
- What will it take to get all educators on my campus motivated to provide engaging lessons?
- When can we find more time for collaboration?
- Where do I find resources about bilingual education, gamification, coaching?
- What is the best way to reach out to angry parents?
- What's an Edcamp?
If so, you might want to attend the
Edcamp for Education Leaders

WHERE: Region 7ESC Cedar A
WHO: All R7 educators, Campus Leaders Who Value Networking and Connections, Principals, Directors, Teachers, Dept. Chairs - all are welcome for no fee.
Why an Edcamp?
-we are learners first, educators second.
-we care about kids.
-we embrace a growth mindset, and we want to model this for our students and teachers.
-we know adults need social learning.
-we believe educators are the best change agents for schools.
-we are empowered.
You should attend this networking session, called an Edcamp if you believe educators are the best change agents for schools.
The growth of Edcamp has been, astounding, but while it is amazing to see a network of educators interested in taking charge of their personal learning, the growth is also indicative of the need to “disrupt” the current system of professional development. Open registration for all provides for partnerships and collaboration that rarely exists in traditional professional development.
The session starts with a blank schedule board, which allows for relevant topics and ideas to surface for the day’s conversation. The law of two feet gives educators the power to determine what meets their learning needs for the day. This is not a sitting and getting information for credits type of session.
Come if you are just curious about how to use edcamps as a vehicle for more meaningful professional development on your campus or in your district.
Educators must be change agents. Edcamps are a vehicle for that change. It’s intrinsic.
