Summary

Welcome to our first Paisley TeachMeet event – bringing educators together in an organised, but informal, setting to share good practice, practical innovations and personal insights in teaching and learning. The event is being hosted and run by the University of the West of Scotland with support from College Development Network.
 
The theme for this Meet is ‘Sharing Stories’, not aligned to a specific subject area or level, just an invitation to talk about anything you’ve seen/experienced that works well (or perhaps doesn’t). You might just have a question that you’d like to ask, or something that you’d like some feedback on. In any case, it's an opportunity to soak up all the ideas and atmosphere.
 
(Don’t be phased by the robot … s/he's just there to up the 'cute' factor; quite a few of the presentations involve EdTech, but we cover a range of educational topics)
 
If this is your first time attending a ‘TeachMeet’, then thanks for joining us! TeachMeets are informal affairs, although there is an element of organisation (choosing a date, finding a venue, and arranging for some refreshments), the content of the Meet is really determined by those who are attending.



 
There are basically 3 options to consider if you want to come along:
 
•    Deliver a 7-minute ‘micro’ presentation
•    Deliver a 2-minute ‘nano’ presentation
•    Just come along and see what’s happening!
 
On the day, we’ll spin a (virtual) wheel and invite people to share in a random order. We’re pretty strict on time (there’s probably going to be an annoying buzzer), so make sure you choose an appropriate slot for your presentation.
 
Okay – so if you have all of that, just sign up below and we'll look forward to seeing you on the 6th!

Who should attend

Anyone with an interest in learning, teaching and/or assessment. The event is not limited college staff, we welcome attendees from any sector, schools (early years, primary, secondary), universities and other education/training providers.
