Jeffrey Carpenter, associate professor of education and director of the Teaching Fellows, has published an article in the journal Teaching and Teacher Education along with co-author Miles MacFarlane. This is Carpenter’s second article to be published in Teaching and Teacher Education during 2018.
The article, titled “Educator perceptions of district-mandated Edcamp unconferences,” is available online here. The abstract reads as follows:
Edcamp unconferences are a non-traditional participant-driven form of educator professional learning. Although Edcamp participation has typically been voluntary, this mixed-methods paper presents participants’ (N = 252) perceptions regarding their experiences at Edcamps run by their school districts and where their attendance was required. The majority of participants rated their Edcamp experiences positively. Many participants compared the content and format of their Edcamps favorably to the professional development available to them. Participants also offered feedback regarding how their Edcamp experiences could have been improved. We discuss these results and their implications for the Edcamp model and educator professional learning.
