ASE Science TeachMeet

5.00pm - 6.30pm Wednesday 23rd May

Verulam School, St Albans, Herts AL1 4PR

Sign in at school reception and then make your way to the Lecture Theatre

Learn something new, be amazed, amused and enthused. This is an informal gathering of those curious about science teaching and technology. Anyone can share great ideas they've trialled in their classrooms, ask important questions or simply sign up to take part in the round table workshops. Everyone is welcome to join in: teachers from all types of schools, teaching all subjects and age groups. This is a chance for science teachers to hear ideas from each other and be inspired by colleagues, along with a whole bucket load of networking to boot!

What can you do?

You can just come along and be a member of the audience if you like, you can give a two minute nano-presentation on one of your favourite science teaching ideas, or you can give a seven minute micro-presentation on an aspect of classroom science teaching. You don't have to be an ASE member, but if you're not, we might try to persuade you to join! 

Telling Others

Please tell other science teachers about the event. If you've been to a TeachMeet before, aim to bring along someone who hasn't.
