What is a TeachMeet?

TeachMeets are open to all educators who are interested in sharing and getting new ideas from other educators. They are organised by enthusiastic educators who secure a venue, advertise the event, and coordinate the presenters. 

GUIDELINES:

• Time: Your talk can be 2 or 7 minutes. You don’t need (any/many) props.

  • This keeps a nice flow going, ensures that no one presenter dominates, and ensures variety so everyone can find something of value to take home with them! 

  • You really don't need slides - if you want, show your laptop, use paper, use a prop, or add a link to the chat.

• You: The talk is about you, not your school.

  • This is not about your school’s wider work, their brand, their tireless efforts. This is about you as an educator. What you do makes a difference - share that!

• New: You’ve never presented on this topic before.

  • Polished presentations that you've done many times aren't the point of TeachMeets; neither are product demos.

BONUS GUIDELINES:

• Write: Instead of a short talk, write a short piece (max 500 words) and we'll add it to this site.

• Dark Horse: Always leave room for that spontaneous talk - an impromptu opportunity!

The success of a TeachMeet depends on you - educators who have great ideas and are willing to share them! So, what are you waiting for? Check out our upcoming TeachMeet events and join us!
