It's Bebington High Sports College's turn to take the TMWirral mantle in the New Year with an engaging and creative approach to the format.

What is Teach Meet?

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. There will also be opportunities to come and take a look at our School Farm that was opened in 2013 as the 100th School Farm in the UK.

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 colleagues and loads of networking opportunities to go with it!
