Early Career Teacher Experience (Secondary Numeracy & Mathematics)

Published 14/10/2024.  Last updated 25/11/2024

This programme is a self-directed learning experience intended to support mathematics teachers who are in the first few years of their teaching career and would like to deepen their understanding and confidence in relation to mathematics learning, teaching and assessment. It can also be used by more experienced teachers, either as an individual refresher, or as part of a wider school improvement approach.

“The making the most of manipulatives session is by far the best CPD I have had this year. Always been aware of manipulatives available but not confident in using them to teach.”

“I have managed to easily pick up a lot of new practical strategies/approaches and implement them quickly into the classroom.”

“Really enjoyed this programme. Not too overwhelming or time consuming but very helpful and simple to understand resources and content!”

“I love the dip in dip out thing link. It has increased confidence in trying out new approaches.”

“Best subject specific professional learning I have had during probation year. Resources and links provided have been excellent."
