Hello,
Looking for something different? Our upcoming September events bring you new ways of accessing training and CPD.
Why not learn practical behaviour management strategies from a theatre show? Or share your best ideas and resources with other teachers & develop a network of fellow professionals?
Maybe one of our forthcoming events is just the thing you need...
1. Paul Dix's One Man Show
Changing Behaviour: The light at the end of your tether!
2. TeachMeet Buckinghamshire (#tmbucks)
3. Teacher Workshops & Parent Workshops
1. Paul Dix's One Man Show
Changing Behaviour: The light at the end of your tether!
Paul's one man show is not just entertaining and highly engaging; his work is rigorous, practical and cutting edge. Paul Dix has been working with the most difficult behaviours in the most challenging urban schools and colleges for the last 20 years
Don't just manage children's behaviour... change it... forever. Learn the skills that allow you to change other people's behaviour by changing your own.
From hard experience with some of the most difficult young people in the trickiest environments Paul Dix shows you how to tame your own children, colleagues and partners!
Paul Dix is a multi award winning behaviour expert. From gently stubborn 8 year olds to dangerously subversive 14 and 44 year olds. Paul offers practical, intelligent strategies.
Laugh and learn with multi-award winning teacher trainer Paul Dix.
NB: This show is suitable for parents as well as teachers and other professionals working with young (or difficult) people.

2. TeachMeet Buckinghamshire (#tmbucks)
Learn something new, be amazed, amused and enthused.
This is an informal gathering of those curious about teaching and learning. Anyone can come and share great ideas they've trialled in their classrooms. 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 - to share good practice. It is about being engaged and inspired by our immediate colleagues and making connections with other educators.
So how does a TeachMeet work?
A TeachMeet is an organised but informal meeting for teachers to share good practice, practical innovations and personal insights in teaching. Participants volunteer to demonstrate good practice they've delivered in classrooms. Each presenter is given just 3 minutes to speak. On the evening, the names of the presenters are drawn out of a hat in a random order. The idea is that you leave at the end of the evening buzzing with a whole range of new ideas to try with your own students.
I'm interested in presenting. What can I talk about?
There are no restrictions placed on what the presenters can talk about. You can share an activity, demonstrate technology you have used in the classroom or discuss strategies and teaching techniques. The only restriction is that you have just 3 minutes.
Do I have to present?
No, you can come and just watch, ask questions and chat to other teachers if you prefer.
Sounds good. When and where is it?
7pm to 9pm: 22nd September, 2011.
Elgiva Theatre, St Mary's Way, Chesham, Bucks, HP5 1HR.
Parking available at the Theatre.
The Elgiva is just 5 mins walk from Chesham underground station (Met line).
How much does it cost?
Nothing. TeachMeets are free events. But please let us know that you are coming so we know how many to expect.
Can I bring my friend?
Yes! The more the merrier. Everyone is welcome. Please tell others about this, we would like to make TeachMeet Buckinghamshire a regular event.
