Edcamps are free, open, and participant-drive professional learning events for educators of all levels, subjects, and schools. Rather than relying on predetermined presentations, Edcamps foster collaborative discussions where participants determine session topics on the day of the event. Emphasizing shared experiences over expertise, Edcamps create spaces for meaningful conversations rather than formal lectures.

Join the Edcamp Community

Educators from all backgrounds are invited to join the Edcamp Community by attending an Edcamp.

Tenets of the Edcamp Model:

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I expect at Edcamp?

Participants should expect energy, enthusiasm, and collaboration at their Edcamp.

  • Everyone is there by choice, and eager to ask questions, share passions, and learn from each other.
  • Edcamps are a fun, laid-back opportunity to network with other educators.
  • All are welcome to pitch ideas, facilitate a session, and share contact information with those they’ve connect with to bolster their professional network.
What happens at Edcamp?

The best Edcamps happen when everyone suggests a topic for discussion and then collaboratively builds a session board with sessions that everyone can contribute to and learn from.

  • Everyone is there by choice, and eager to ask questions, share passions, and learn from each other.
  • Everyone is welcome to introduce themselves and suggest a topic for the session board.
  • Educators are encouraged to share best practices, challenges and passions, each listening for key information to enhance their professional learning.
  • There is no single expert in the room; participants are empowered to have voice and choice at Edcamp
Will I really learn?

The gains from attending Edcamp are enormous. We routinely survey our community members and have discovered that:

  • Educators exposed to the Edcamp model are more satisfied, learn more and feel more supported.
  • Nearly 70% report learning at least 4 or more ideas to implement in their classrooms; 23% report learning over 10.
  • Administrators and teachers agree that the Edcamp model is more productive and valuable than traditional, presentation-oriented professional development.
  • Close to 97% of Edcampers say they developed beneficial contacts at Edcamp, making it one of the most rewarding networking events for educators out there.
How do I receive credit?

Many educators are able to receive credit for their participation in Edcamp. Check with your state and/or district on how it recognizes teacher training credit.

  • Our data shows that over 80% of administrators exposed to the Edcamp model not only approved it for teacher training credit but also included Edcamp as an approved professional development offering in their district.
  • We encourage Edcampers to advocate for receiving credit by sharing the model’s effectiveness with administrators and using our Certificate of Completion to demonstrate attendance and learning at Edcamp.
