We’ll be hidden in deepest, darkest Oxfordshire building these scenarios, but in the meantime, a link to the first TeachMeet video (from BETT 09)  – an unconference that brings teachers together to share practices and ideas and relates to work around informal communities of practice and ‘bottom-up’ innovations.

The results of those conversations are a couple of programmes being broadcast on Teachers TV. A half hour documentary – ‘School Matters: Tomorrow’s Teacher, Tomorrow’s School’ – will be broadcast for the first time at 7am on February 2.  A programme about a secondary school lesson – ‘Secondary Cross Curricular – Tomorrow’s Teacher’ – will first be aired at 7.30am on February 3.  The lesson uses both Million Futures and Power League to help the students think about the future.

Teachers TV are also running a competition about Future Teachers – more info can be found here.

And finally, a link to a BETT ‘09 presentation on the DCSF stand under the theme ‘Policy in Practice’.
