Who can take part?
The programme is for teachers leading change in a school or group of schools other than their own, and will benefit those who have previous experience of developing leadership capacity in schools/groups of schools or who are new to the role. Normally, participants will have previously completed the NCETM PD Lead Programme. Participants will be expected to commit to the full programme of activities and will need the support of the headteacher of their own school and/or their MAT. The programme is for teachers working in England only.
What is involved?
This programme is specifically designed to enable the leaders of maths school development to enhance leadership capacity and capability in the schools they support. It will provide regional support through workshops (face-to-face run regionally across England, and online), practice development activities, and an online community.
Participants design and lead a maths school development initiative, working with school and subject leadership. They must maintain a reflection and learning log, and a record of their initiative.
What will you learn?
Participants will:
- You will develop your knowledge of a range of maths school development strategies and know why, when, and how to use them effectively.
- You will strengthen your knowledge of the evidence base that underpins school development and change management
- You will design and lead collaborative maths school development initiatives
- You will increase your awareness of the skills needed by a maths school development lead and have a deeper self-awareness in relation to the role
What is the cost?
The School Development Lead Programme is fully funded by the Maths Hubs Programme so is free to participants and their schools.
