What is TeachMeet?

 

Learn something new, be amazed, amused and enthused!

 

TeachMeet is an informal  and enjoyable gathering of those curious about teaching and learning. Anyone can share great ideas they've trialled in their classrooms, ask important questions or simply sign up to take part in learning conversations. Education professionals from all sectors are welcome to take part and it'd be great to see both Primary and Seconday!

 

TeachMeet is a unique gathering of teachers and education professionals to share inspirational ideas, techniques and resources. The main part of TeachMeet is hearing stories about learning, from teachers. This is not an event to present about a product - this is a chance for teachers from all types of establishments to hear ideas from each other . It's a chance to hear real narratives of practice that make a difference. It is about being engaged and inspired by our immediate  colleagues and gain a whole bucket load of networking to boot!
