TeachMeet @ Excelsior Academy on
Thursday 24th April 2014.
After the success of the previous TeachMeet ‘Alpha’ Excelsior Academy are ready to launch their second TeachMeet event ‘Omega’.
There were over 300 teachers from the region and nationally who attended the previous event.
All presentation will be delivered by teachers for teachers!
What is a TeachMeet?
A TeachMeet is an informal gathering of like-minded teachers learning from each other.
Participants volunteer to present and demonstrate an element of good practice or to discuss a product that enhances learning.
TeachMeet events are open and are free.
This event is for both primary and secondary teachers as most topics will be generic
Theme
Alpha Omega @ Excelsior - Alpha and Omega are the first and the last letters of the Greek alphabet and is translated as ‘the beginning and the end’. The aim was to hold Alpha on Thursday 24th October 2013 and a second on Thursday 24th April 2014 to provide teachers from the region two opportunities to network and share ideas to improve their current teaching practices.
