Coaching in and out of the classroom: Reflecting on EdcampKC

Educators Never Cease to Amaze me....

EdcampKC was held November 10th at Lee Summit North High School. The entire event was led and organized by Kyle Pace, Steve J. Moore, and Laura Gilchrist.

The event is an "unconference" and is designed to be entirely led by the people in attendance. The sessions presented are decided the day of and people are charged to collaborate and share their passions, ideas, questions and conversations.

Here are some resources I found from the day:
