h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I have a colleague who attends that sort of thing just for the freebies (and my God, she gets a lot). But you've got to weigh a few pens in the balance against your colleagues - and, possibly worse, SMT - actually finding out that you've been to a teaching Expo...

B

Can you fib a little and say you got the stuff from people who were going door to door handing out stuff?

Well Mu Beta, you have to remember that I spend my time with keen young trainees and not jaded old cynics like yourself. They are very excited about the exhibition, and not just for the freebies. And I'm sure there's a Q standard they can meet.

(Hums the title song from "Avenue Q" )

That must be the newly added Q34) Attend teaching events and score some decent loot.

For me, attending events is easier than actual teaching.

How about Q7a) "...take responsibility for identifying and meeting their developing professional needs".

And you never know, something you see might lead to Q7b) "Identify priorities for their early professional development..."

Or you might find things that help you with any of the ones that require you to show you can personalise learning, promote well-being, help them to achieve their potential, use a range of strategies and resourses and so on.

Do you know, I can hear Mu Beta exploding from here!

And all this time I thought the sound was coming from a distant thunder storm.
