Online secondary geography teachmeet

In this online session, we will be asking geography teachers to share their ideas and innovation with the teacher community.

Teachmeets are a great way to find out what fellow teachers are doing in the classroom and beyond. Delegates will be able to view around six individual sessions from a variety of geography teachers, and take away a range of ideas, resources and experiences. A great way to mingle with the geographical community online!

We have six speaker spaces available in total and if you wish to be considered for a place as a speaker please email Claire at c.brown@rgs.org with details of what you wish to talk about during your eight-minute presentation. We are particularly interested to offer speaker spaces to teachers who have not spoken at one of our teachmeets previously, early career teachers, and teachers who are new to presenting CPD and would like a chance to have a go in a friendly and informal space!

The speaker programme is now fully booked but if you wish to be added to the reserve speaker list please email Claire at c.brown@rgs.org
