This edcamp is for BPS educators supporting the writing skills of students in grades K-12. Join us to connect with BPS colleagues and discuss the question, "What explicit teaching moves support our students in becoming engaged and empowered writers?" Participants will earn 2 PD hours.
BPS Participants will also be awarded 2 PD hours for attending.
THANK YOU for those that attended our EDCAMP on ““What explicit teaching moves support our students in becoming engaged and empowered writers?” 83% of attendees (10 out of 12 exit ticket responses) said they would recommend this session to a friend. Here are some take-aways from the exit ticket:
“Enjoyed the ability to hear from teachers across the district. I enjoyed the format and the ability for teachers' voices to be heard.”
“Co- constructive discussions- no experts only people willing to share their knowledge, ideas and tips
cross-school collaboration!”
“Everyone contributed and we actually learned from everyone!”
Based on this session, here’s some things that participants want to try in their own classrooms/schools:
“Lots of great ideas shared in breakout rooms from a variety of schools/grades/disciplines”
“Introduced to new resources”
“Writing techniques for beginners the effective ways kids learned.”
“Tips on how to encourage a reluctant writer.”
“Hearing from other teachers about their tips and tricks for differentiating writing!”
What is an Edcamp?
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?
Why Edcamp?
Edcamp is a chance to connect, learn from each other, and figure out together how to think through new ways to create deeper learning experiences for students. We hope you’ll leave with new ideas and new connections.
