Who can take part?
These phase-specific programmes are for expert teachers of maths (all phases from Early Years to post-16) who have existing commitments and responsibility for designing, leading and evaluating maths teacher professional development, and who will lead maths professional development beyond their own institution.
What is involved?
The PD Lead Programme is designed for participants who are working with other teachers to enhance teaching and learning of maths.
Participants benefit from the equivalent of three one-day workshops (face-to-face and online). Participants will design, lead, review and refine a programme of support for maths teacher professional development, drawing upon a range of evidence informed models and activity. The completion of an Accreditation Evidence Document, which facilitates critical reflection on participants’ learning, is required.
