The National Centre for Excellence in the Teaching of Mathematics (NCETM) aims to ensure all teachers of mathematics have access to high quality continuing professional development (CPD).

It does this by working to develop a sustainable national provision of mathematics CPD, and by encouraging teachers of mathematics to work collaboratively to improve their practice.

The NCETM is a consortium managed by Tribal Education in partnership with Myscience, Mathematics in Education and Industry (MEI), and the Institute of Education, University of London (IOE); it is funded by the Department for Education (DfE).

The NCETM aims to:• raise standards by supporting high quality mathematics-specific CPD,

so that the mathematical potential of learners can be fully realised

• support all schools, organisations and individuals with a CPD role, in collaborating with teachers to improve mathematics teaching and learning

• raise the professional status of all those engaged in the teaching of mathematics.

The support and guidance provided by the NCETM is underpinned by the three elements of effective teaching identified by Ofsted and ACME:

• strong subject knowledge

• understanding of the ways in which pupils learn mathematics

• skills and confidence in using subject knowledge and understanding in the classroom.

Tasks to do week 4• ensure required tasks for preliminary experience are

complete (including GCSE papers);

• Write some draft targets for tutorial on Thursday;

• see further material on Blackboard relating to this weeks sessions

• Start audits and target setting records– subject knowledge (after NCETM session) & ICT

Activities for this session1. Browse Blackboard

2. Start using the journal on Blackboard: what skill or resource are you most looking forward to learn (may be something new as well, as a request)?

3. Pairs: exchange your one ‘most impressive’ or ‘most useful’ ICT tool. Make a short report on it in the digital Journal section on Blackboard. Experiment with layout.

4. Fill in the ICT audit

5. Register at NCETM and fill in Subject knowledge audits (see portfolio description)
