My invitation to present at this event was obviously lost in the post, but for those colleagues in Dubai, there is an excellent CPD opportunity coming up in March.
Details sent by Matt Podbury.

1.45 pm - Geographic Possibilities and Affirmative Action - Matt Podbury
Matt will give some practical ways that he promotes Geographic possibilities into his teaching, across the secondary age range with some free take away resources for you to adapt and try out in your own school. These will deal with climate change and disparities with school-based projects, new case studies at IGCSE and IB/A-Level and getting ‘positive Africa’ into your curriculum.
3.15 pm - Coffee break
3.30-4.30 pm - Teachmeet
Learn something new, be amazed, amused and enthused. This is an informal gathering of those curious about teaching and learning. Come along to share great ideas trialled in your classroom, ask important questions or simply sign up to take part in learning conversations. Professionals from all educational sectors are welcome.
TeachMeet is not about presenting a new product or theory, rather it 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 with a bucket-load of networking to boot!
