Event Description
If you look at the home page for the Edcamp Foundation’s homepage, you’ll see that it says that edcamps are all about “promoting organic, participant-driven professional development for K-12 educators worldwide.” At Edcamp Chicago, being held this year at East Leyden High School in Franklin Park, IL, we aim to provide this type of professional development experience: one that is developed by and for the teachers and administrators that attend, education for educators tailored to their needs.

In these sessions, designed by you, you’ll experience:

- Great ideas you can use in your classroom
- Help with your educational passions (and, perhaps, finding new ones)
- Meeting other great teachers, administrators, and other just great all-around educators
