Teachmeet arrives in Glasgow’s East End!

 

What is TeachMeet?

Inspired by Leadmeet09 and some blogging and tweeting, two Glasgow HTs, Sheona Allen (Caledonia PS) and Fiona MacDonald (Oakwood Primary - merger of Blairtummock, Bishoploch, Commonhead, and Rogerfield Primary Schools) planned one for Glasgow’s East End. It is being fully supported by Glasgow’s Open Door scheme.

 

 

Thanks to those who set up the TeachmeetSLF09 for the format below.

 

Learn something new, be amazed, amused and enthused. This is an informal gathering of local teachers to explore some ideas about their teaching and CfE. Anyone can share great ideas they've trialled in their classrooms, ask important questions and take part in learning conversations.

 

When and Where?

 

Saturday 24^th October 2009 in Oakwood Primary School.

Address: 22 Drumlanrig Avenue, Easterhouse, Glasgow, G34 0GD

What can you do?

You can come along to chat, meet new people, join in the conversations.

 

 

We will run a bunch of creative activities where you just join in a session of your choice.

 

 

As with all Teachmeets, we are dependant on sponsors for a venue, refreshments, wifi, equipment and other things. We are grateful to Glasgow’s Open Door scheme and to Fiona for the school for the morning! Tea, coffee and nibbles will be on tap. Help yourself whenever. This is informal, guys!

 

 

 

Presentation Rules

 

What are the rules for this Teachmeet ?

 

You can use whatever presentation format you want, you could just talk, show something from the web, hold up a poster or you could sing a song! do something different?

 

 

The important thing is that you get your message across and you will only get a few seconds set up time.

 

Be prepared for technical difficulties and be ready to wing it! That’s what makes Teachmeet exciting! Most of all – EVERYBODY join in. 

 

Un-Conference Chairs

 

Fiona and Sheona

 

Seven minute micropresentations

 

 

 

Frank Crawford, HMCI, (Twitter @frankcrawford) will give a couple of short presentations during the morning with loads of time for discussions and creative input.

 

 

Sheona and Fiona say that next time (!), they’ll be looking to you for presentations.

 

 

 

Two minute nano presentations

 

 

 

We already have volunteers to give a series of two minute nano presentation on their BIG IDEA! Strictly two minutes  at which point you will be assaulted verbally and then physically by a shower of soft toys. We’ll have quick discussions of the big ideas in-between times.

 

 

We’ll add the names shortly.

 

 

Learning conversations

 

We might be able to slip in a few learning conversations if we run out of steam in the discussions. Come along with some ideas for these conversations and maybe ideas for the next TMeastend.

 

 

 

Answers From the Crowd

As an alternative to being lead in conversation by a more knowing other, participants can post a topic or question here which will be the focus of conversation threads. At an appropriate time in the morning the focus of each thread could be presented. This idea would allow anyone to contribute to the event without the need to stand up and present.
