Enhancing the Role of the Numeracy Coordinator - Two live webinar sessions looking at where Maths is integral to learning across the curriculum

This event will run:- 

as morning sessions from 10.00 until 12.30 over two weeks

or as twilight sessions from 16.00 to 18.30 over two weeks

The intervening week can be used for reflection, collaboration and an opportunity to share with colleagues the learning from the first session to review some of the valuable resources and materials that will help to shape future planning.

Mathematics does not just stand alone as a subject. There is a myriad of examples of where Maths is integral to deepening knowledge and understanding across the curriculum.

This online course looks at how to ensure the curriculum design focuses on where number and Maths are integral to learning in subjects other than Maths. We look at ways Numeracy Co-ordinators and those with responsibility for Maths teaching can work more closely with colleagues to ensure there is a profound awareness of the importance of making the connections from concepts taught in Maths to context within other subjects.

This event will focus on:-

• Defining the roles and responsibilities of a Numeracy Coordinator
• Focusing on where numeracy is integral to learning and can support the development of learners’ problem solving, reasoning and analytical skills
• Creating opportunities to look at numeracy specifics and how to support subject specialists other than Maths teachers develop their own deeper understanding of how to enhance the numeracy skills of learners
• Building a suite of learning opportunities for teachers of subjects other than Maths
• Planning a strategy for ensuring all teachers are confident and have the skills to highlight where numeracy skills are inherent in their teaching and can support learners to become more confident and unconsciously competent in their use of number
• Win hearts and minds, create a strategy that is embraced by all staff and give learners the skills that support them to become highly competent in how and where number skills enhance the learning process.

Who should attend?

This event is of particular interest to those who have been given the role of Numeracy Coordinator. It will also be very valuable for other managers or teachers who have a specific responsibility for embedding numeracy across the curriculum such as Heads of Maths or Teaching and Learning Managers. This event may also be useful for those with responsibility for CPD or staff development who would be able to use the materials and learning from the day to develop further training for colleagues back in school.
