Keynote Speaker

 

We are lucky enough to have Amjad Ali opening our second TeachMeet. Amjad or @ASTSupportAAli is best known for sharing resources and ideas that can be adapted for classrooms throughout different year groups.  His Cheney Agility Toolkit has become increasingly popular and has featured on the BBC programme Click. Amjad has organised and hosted his own highly successful TMOxford events. He has also presented at BETT and is one of the co-organisers for #TMLondon and will be writing a book with Crown House Publishing. It's worth coming to #TMCotham2 just for this alone!
