Which can be found at 2850 Ironwood Drive in Sun Prairie Wisconsin from 8:30 am - 3:00 pm.

So, I’d like to take this space to go over some of the basic rules of EdCamp. No One Will Pitch It for You EdCamps are unconferences. By this I mean that they have a blank slate of sessions for the day. There may be a few predetermined sessions, but ultimately the session topics are determined by attendees during the pitch & plan session that opens the day. If an idea gets pitched there will be a session on it. If a topic doesn’t get pitched, there won’t be a session on it. So, it i
As a professional I take great pride in the freedoms I have in terms of implementing state standards and designing a curriculum with the goal of reaching all learners. But these things that are expected of my. The one professional accomplishment I have been most proud of the last two years is the EdCamp I helped found in my school. It has required the work and support of many other people to make it happen. But, I realize that without my first step of putting up the following post on my blog and sharing it through our district's Google+ Community, it never would have happened.
As we gear up for our 3rd EdCamp Elmbrook on March 2nd, I wanted to share some reason's why YOU should come to Brookfield Central that day and be part of the EdCamp Experience. The reason I champion the experience is for all of the great learning that I get from other educators in my content area and beyond. More than learning from them, they become a part of my personal learning network. I know that these passionate educators would not think twice about responding to a follow-up I have about their practice or even brainstorming with me.
But enough of my EdCamp "why" let's hear from some of our 2018 EdCamp Elmbrook attendees.
I am so proud of all of the educators who have played a role in making this EdCamp a reality. We have a great planning committee and incredible support from our district administration. But the real strength of our EdCamp the past years has been the attendees. That's why I hope you can be a part of our EdCamp Elmbrook tradition.
Hopefully, you can attend EdCamp Elmbrook this year. We hope to have you there to help make the event even better than last year. If you'd like more information about the event go to our website or click below to register for EdCamp Elmbrook.
If you are interested but have not clue where Brookfield is, here you go.
