TeachMeets 2019/20

TeachMeets

A TeachMeet is an organised but informal meeting for teachers to share good practice, practical innovations and personal insights in teaching.

Teachers are social people, who like discussing and sharing best practice. Unfortunately, teachers also rarely have the time to do this. When training to be a teacher, you constantly pick up tips from other teachers, you have CPD opportunities and are frequently sent to events—but how do we keep sharing and learning about great practice after this?

If you’ve never been to a TeachMeet before, it is essentially local teachers getting together to share 5–7 minute teaching ideas with each other over a cup of tea and biscuits.

Getting involved in the mini-presentations also allows you to network with other teachers more easily.

What’s great about TeachMeets?

They’re full of quick snippets of ideas and you meet lots of former colleagues who are teaching in other local schools which means you ca network after the presentations. They help you to reflect on your own practice and critically engage with current pedagogical strategies.
