If you don't know what a TeachMeet is, take a look at what the official TM people say:

'Learn something new, be amazed, amused and enthused. This is an informal gathering of those curious about teaching and learning. Anyone can share great ideas they've trialled in their classrooms, ask important questions or simply sign up to take part in learning conversations. Education professionals from all sectors are welcome to take part.

The main part of TeachMeet is hearing stories about learning, from teachers. This is not an event to present about a product or theory - this is a chance for teachers from all types of establishments to hear ideas from each other. Real narratives of practice that make a difference. It is about being engaged and inspired by our immediate colleagues and a whole bucket load of networking to boot!'

Professional development doesn't come much better than a TeachMeet. The next one for us will be at The Bulmershe School in January (date TBC). In the meantime, keep checking the What's On page, which now suggests external events available. Upcoming events are PedagooLondon, TMSlough and NorthernRocks.

If you require any further persuasion then this post from @rlj1981 may encourage you to come along to the next one.
