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!

Seven minute micropresentations  

It's quite possible that there will be more presentations than there is space to fit them all in - this is a good thing, however it might mean that you don't get to present on the night, due to the random nature in which they are chosen. This makes it all the more important that you give a link to your presentation materials (and exposition if that's necessary) below, next to your title, as this will mean people can find out about what you're presenting on even if you don't actually get to stand up and present...

Add your name and a sentence describing what you're planning on talking about below, plus a link to your presentation materials once they're ready. This last bit's important for the sharing element of a TeachMeet to work!

TeachEatBETT

As with previous years we are going to organise a group visit to Pizza Express immediately at the end of the TeachMeet (around 9:30pm).  All TeachMeetBETT attendees are welcome to come along. Last year Pizza Express set a maximum group size of 70 limit to the number of people they can accommodate of around 80, so it is likely that this will be the case this year.

It is important to note that although we hope that sponsors may make a contribution to reduce the overall cost of the meal, all attendees should be aware that they may have to make some contribution to the cost of the meal.

This year the pizza will be buffet-style, meaning that we will all have a better chance to mingle than in previous years when sat at tables.  Pizza Express will provide us with a variety of pizzas, and a drink, for a set price (this has yet to be arranged but will be made clear in advance on the night).  Also, unlike previous years Pizza Express have no half price offers in place, this means there is every likelihood those who attend for pizza will have to pay for the meal (at the time of writing no sponsorship has been secured for this, so to prevent embarrassment please be ready to pay when asked to do so, and don't leave without paying Drew Buddie, Ian Addison or Ian Usher). Drew has secured a voucher that is likely to reduce the overall bill by 25% so the  cost should be no more than £10 per person for the pizza and a drink. 

The booking has been secured on the basis of 80 people being there, so please be sure to REMOVE  your name from the list below if you will no longer be attending, so that others don't have to pay for the pizza you would have had.
