Problem | Printable page |
Stage: 3, 4 and 5 Challenge Level: Challenge Level:1

A series of three, free professional development days for mathematics teachers organised by the NRICH Team in Cambridge during the academic years
2008/9, 2009/10 and 2010/11.

Aim:

To support mathematics teachers who are committed to nurturing confident, resourceful and enthusiastic learners.


Thanks to the generous support from the Goldman Sachs Foundation the NRICH Team are offering a free professional development programme for mathematics teachers at maintained sector schools/colleges in the UK.

The Teacher Inspiration programme will be delivered as three one-day events over the course of each academic year.

The programme is aimed at teachers of mathematics at Key Stages 3, 4 and 5. The days will be highly interactive and will respond to the issues and concerns raised by teachers.

Dates and themes:

2nd October 2009 - Enriching resources, inspiring learners

Working with free, high quality and engaging resources to meet the expectations of the new curriculum.

  • Keynote presentation
  • Workshops at KS3, KS4 and KS5

18th March 2010 - Enriching classrooms, inspiring learning


Encouraging questioning and discussion, building confidence, challenging learners - these are some of the issues that concern us all and that we shall address on the day.
  • Keynote presentation
  • Workshops on key themes suggested by teachers.


2nd July 2010 - Enriching networks, inspiring teachers


Leave the day ready to include problem solving in your curriculum.
Learn from good practice and other teachers' experiences. Here are examples from two schools.

The Goldman Sachs Foundation has generously provided support to enable us to offer places without charge to mathematics teachers at maintained sector schools in the UK.


The days will link together with participants encouraged to try out and share ideas between sessions. Preference will therefore be given to teachers who can attend all three days. Schools are encouraged to send more than one teacher to all three days.

The deadline for applications is 29th June 2009. Places are limited and an early response is encouraged.
