What is TeachMeet?

 


Sponsors


TeachMeet East Midlands wouldn't be possible without the

kind support of the companies & organisations below:

 

 

Providing the venue

Providing the TeachEat buffet

 

Providing raffle prizes

 

 

Gifts for Teachers

 

Learn something new, be amazed, amused and enthused. This is an informal gathering of those curious about teaching and learning. Anyone can share great ideas they've trialed 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.

 

The main part of TeachMeet is hearing stories about learning, from teachers. This is not an event to present about a product or theory - this is a chance for teachers from all types of establishments to hear ideas from each other. Real narratives of practice that make a difference. It is about being engaged and inspired by our immediate colleagues and a whole bucket load of networking to boot!

 

 


 

Other Information

 

Please bring your favourite book to read with children in your class or your favourite book as an adult for a table activity.

 

Remember, this is an informal gathering of educational professionals. The event is casual in nature; with free food, light refreshments and free parking. It also offers you a chance to meet other teachers in a fun and welcoming environment.
