Cultivate & Collaborate Video Calls
We miss chatter in the hallways, snarky comments that make meetings a little better, random high-fives at dismissal, moments that only other teachers know – all of it. We don’t know exactly how to recreate that, but free, regular, open, video workshops are a good way to start. There are two types of calls:
Please read our video call norms before joining a call.
Cultivate
Thursdays at 7:30pm CT: We have so much to learn! Lucky for us, teachers are amazing and we know so much already! Zoom calls, YouTube channels, Instagram stories-as-instruction, Desmos, offline lessons, and more. An EdCo teacher will host instructional sessions where you can ask, try, practice, fail, and try again!

Collaborate
Tuesdays at 7:30pm CT : Mini unconferences with a specific topic or question at the center of the conversation. No experts, all learners – some will have more to share and some will join in with nothing but questions and that’s a perfect mix! If you’ve been to an EdCampNash, it’ll be like walking into one of those rooms with an EdCo teacher facilitating.
