KASCD's Just in Time Learning Event...KASCDedcamp: The Unconference for Curriculum and Instructional Leaders
#KASCDedcamp
The first KASCD edcamp 2017 will take place February 10, 2017 at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel at the Wichita Airport.
Kansas ASCD (KASCD) is excited about hosting an Edcamp unconference for curriculum and instructional leaders. Come join us February 10, 2017 and participate in a full day that emphasizes peer-to-peer collaboratively learning focused on the informal exchange of information and ideas between participants, rather than following a conventionally structured program of events. The day will begin with a light breakfast and networking. Start thinking about a session that you'd like to add on the schedule. Don't worry about being prepared with a presentation; just come with a topic for discussion or a question that has been burning. After we kick off, we'll start our sessions. The "law of two feet" applies all day.
