Live online professional development for teachers

Live Online Professional Development in Mathematics

FMNetwork RPD

Innovative courses to enable teachers to teach A level Mathematics and A level Further Mathematics with confidence.

The online sessions aim both to cover subject content common to all current specifications and to facilitate the exchange of teaching ideas between the teachers involved. Rather than attending a one or two day course away from school/college, delegates will use the software Elluminate to meet weekly on-line.
