Let your voice be heard! - October's In-Service

Have you ever heard of an EdCamp? 




EdCamps are participant-driven, informal learning opportunities for teachers.  

In a traditional EdCamp all participants show up in the morning and brainstorm ideas of topics that they would like to know more about.  After a list of topics is created, particpants who are well-versed in the proposed areas will volunteer to facilitate each discussion.

From there a schedule is made and particpants attend the sessions of their choice. 

EdCamps are free, and we have some great ones in our area: 

  • EdCamp DuBois - in July @ DuBois Area Middle School
  • GCC EdCamp - in April @ Grove City College
  • EdCamp Happy Valley - in March @State College Area HS

Our October in-service is a spin-off of this model.  We are just crowdsourcing ideas and presenters in advance to create a schedule that will logistically meet our needs.

Dr. Wortman has put the word out for presenters.  Click HERE to volunteer your expertise.

Below is a Padlet I have created for everyone to brainstorm ideas of what they would like to learn.  

Before you make your "choice", let your "voice" be heard so your needs/curiosities 
can be addressed in the session offerings.

Hit the "+" to add an idea.   
Give it a "thumbs up" if there is a topic you would like to see on the list of sessions. 
Your voice may just inspire someone to lead up a session.

Thank you for your participation in making the October In-Service a meaningful learning opportunity!
