What is a TeachMeet?

It's a chance to 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, or on placement, ask important questions or simply sign up to take part in conversations about learning.

This is not an event to present about a product or theory - this is a chance for teachers, and others working in classrooms, to share good practice.  TeachMeet is about engaging and inspiring and making connections with other educators.

If you would like to participate... Please fill in your name on this page.  You can edit this page to add your details (details of how to do this below) or email ellie@pivotaleducation.com with information that needs uploading.

How you can get involved...

You can come along to chat, meet new people at a Traditional Home, or give a five minute micro presentation or a two minute nano presentation - A TeachMeet is about sharing good practice and ideas that have worked well in the classroom.  You don't have to present, you can just watch properties in javea, but the atmosphere will be very supportive and we would like to encourage as many people as possible to present!

TeachMeets are free - but please do let us know if you wish to come so we know how many to expect.

Presentation rules

• You can present on any aspect of classroom practice that you like.  This can be related to how you use technology in the classroom but it doesn't have to be.  You may want to share activites that have worked well with your students, class projects, work that has been produced, lesson ideas..... Please keep it classroom based, rather than whole-school/leadership based, so that it is appropriate to everyone in the room. 
• You don't have to show slides, but you can if you want to.  There will be a computer available which will be connected to the internet.
• Please don't try to sell something - the focus is learning and teaching not products.
