What is sp-edcamp?</h3>
<ul>
<li>sp-edcamp is an edcamp with a special education twist. </li>
<li>The idea is the same, the conversations are the same.</li>
<li>The cost is the same...FREE!</li>
<li>We wanted to include the voice of special education teachers in order to target their needs in professional development and engage preservice teachers to teachers in the field. Through this partnership with the MNCEC State Unit and our SCEC Chapters, we have created, sp-edcamp!</li>

Rather than paying expensive presenters, we learn from and teach each other!<br />
<br />
Come enjoy a day of discussion and networking with PK-16 educators from surrounding communities. <br />
Bring an idea for a session that you would like to lead or come with the anticipation of a full day of <br />
learning. A session might explore a technology tool, a discussion about best practices, or a collaborative <br />
presentation with multiple facilitators. <br />
