The Edcamp model is built on the idea that teachers can learn from and inspire one another to enhance their professional skills with the goal of improving student outcomes. Edcamps are a participatory professional development event organised by teacher volunteers in which educators lead their own learning experiences. Edcamps adopt the ‘unconference’ model where sessions are organized, structured, and led by the people attending the event. Edcamps facilitate peer-to-peer learning among teachers, and as teachers are on the frontline of solving the new challenges of emergency distance learning as well as planning for ongoing changes to teaching and learning as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, best practices can spread more quickly if teachers are given opportunities to share them with each other. The Edcamp movement originated in 2010 with an in-person event in the United States organised by and for teachers. Ten years later more than 500 Edcamps occur each year all around the world.
