What is TeachMeet?

 

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 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.

 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! 

Everyone is welcome to join in: teachers or trainee teachers from all types of schools or colleges, teaching all subjects and age groups.  The main aim of a TeachMeet is for teachers to hear ideas from each other and be inspired by colleagues, along with a whole bucket load of networking to boot! 

 

You can come along to do any of the following:

 

• listen and be inspired 
• give a two minute nano-presentation 
• give a seven minute talk 

 

The presenters will be people like you, or you could be one of our presenters! Nothing frightening like a conference keynote, just you talking about an idea, an activity, a strategy you use that works and you are willing to share with others.
