What is an Edcamp?

Edcamps are “unconferences” where there is no pre-set session agenda. The New York Times describes Edcamps as “an innovative form of training with no predetermined speakers or sessions, led by the participants themselves.” At an Edcamp, participants create the session topics at the start of the event based on their interests and questions. Edcamps provide educators with a professional learning model for growing, connecting, and sharing expertise with others in the room.

Why Edcamp?

Edcamp is a chance to connect, learn from each other, and figure out together how to think through the challenges in our classrooms. We hope you’ll leave with new ideas and new connections.

What's the Telescope Network?

The Telescope Network is a BPS/BTU initiative to support educator-driven, student-centered professional learning. Our goal is to connect BPS educators to resources, opportunities, and each other.
