SPARK running order 26th October 2013
Sponsors Presentation SPARK 261013
Today my school, the School of Research Science hosted its first Teach Meet and the biggest #SPARKuae event so far, over 250 educators from Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Bahrain, Doha and even the UK gathered at Heriot Watt University for a fantastic CPD extravaganza!
It was humbling and inspiring to see so many people willing to give up their free time on a Saturday morning in order to collaborate and share best practice with others.
We also had lots of fun as a few teachers were ‘persuaded’ to show us their dance moves to the YMCA on stage….I am now officially making dancing compulsory for all CPD sessions at SRS!
There were over 20 presentations and as promised I include in this post a link to them all! Thanks to all who attended and presented, to share in your positivity and enthusiasm made all the hard work in organising the event worthwhile.
If you attended could you give some feedback here..

Lots of great ideas, all of which were thought provoking and motivating, some were quite inspiring and our team of teachers from Deira Private School have decided to try out a few soon. Thank you for an event that was extremely well organised.
