What is ConnectED Live?

ConnectED Live is a collaboration between Beckfoot Academies Trust and The Two Counties Trust, both united in our commitment to make professional learning accessible to all. Through our free online events, we foster professional equity, removing the barriers of cost and geography when accessing high-quality professional learning. Our events offer attendees the chance to gain new insights, share ideas and enhance their practice. To achieve this, we offer two distinct types of events: those with special guest speakers and our National Online TeachMeets.

Our events with special guests offer a unique opportunity to connect with some of the sector’s leading thinkers. Previous special guests include Doug Lemov, Bradley Busch and Peps Mccrea. These sessions are interactive and include elements like Q&As and polls to ensure the content is tailored to the audience’s needs.

In addition to our guest-led sessions, ConnectED Live also hosts National Online TeachMeets, providing educators with a platform to connect, share practical insights and learn from one another. These events are packed with multiple dynamic 5-minute presentations, offering actionable suggestions that can be implemented right away. This format creates a collaborative space for educators to connect, learn and grow together.
