Announcing TeachMeet Essex

Pioneer School, Basildon, Essex, 5pm - 8pm

Having seen the excellent Teachmeets taking place elsewhere in the UK, we've wanted for a long time to put on an event that will showcase the excellent teaching and learning that is taking place the schools in Essex as well as the breakaway republics of Southend and Thurrock. Teachers and friends from other areas are obviously more than welcome too! While we welcomes guest from the various local authorities, this is an independently-run event outside any local authority banners.

Main Organiser - Danny Nicholson @dannynic on twitter. Please send any questions his way danny [at] think-bank [dot] com. Other bodies being drafted in to help - watch this space.

What is a TeachMeet?

Learn something new, be amazed, amused and enthused. This is an informal gathering of those curious about teaching and technology. Anyone can share great ideas they've trialled in their classrooms, ask important questions or simply sign up to take part in learning conversations. Everyone is welcome to join in: teachers from all types of schools, teaching all subjects and age groups. The main part of TeachMeet is hearing stories about learning from teachers. It is a chance for teachers to hear ideas from each other and be inspired by colleagues, along with a whole bucket load of networking to boot!
