Expert Seminar: for those with strategic responsibility for the quality of teaching mathematics
Purpose of each expert seminar
• Discuss common issues and concerns around the quality of teaching of mathematics and the provision of professional development for teachers of mathematics
• Discuss how the needs of ‘lifelong professional learning’ are supported by existing provision and what more should be done to make this a reality
• Share ways in which the NCETM can support strategic partners in the raising of quality of teaching and in the provision of professional development
• Strengthen and extend the impact of existing networks and partnerships
• Share current regional developments and explore how these might be developed to impact nationally, and in other regions, including the potential for working across boundaries
