Professional Development
The Core Maths Support Programme is totally committed to continuing Professional Development for all teachers involved with Core Maths. The following documents provide details of professional development opportunities specific to Core Maths:
+
LESSON STUDY
Using tried and tested international techniques, Lesson Study aims to develop the practice of all Core Maths teachers. Based on the principle that teachers learn best from and improve their practice by seeing other teachers teach, key actions have been put in a process designed to maximise development and results.

SUBJECT KNOWLEDGE ENHANCEMENT (SKE)
Courses for serving teachers have been developed to increase the number of mathematics teachers and improve their skills. Key objectives of the course are to:
- develop teachers’ confidence with relevant higher-level GCSE materials and Level 2 content;
- inspire and enthuse teachers;
- provide motivating introductory activities, tasks and presentations for teaching mathematics at both GCSE level and Core Maths.
The Subject Knowledge component of these SKE courses is freely available to any teachers in Early Adopter Teaching Projects (ETPs).
+
CORE MATHS MASTERS (CMM)
Two modules are available which together can count as 60 credits towards the 180 needed for a Masters level qualification. The two modules focus on problem solving and use lesson study principles to promote innovative and reflective practice of direct relevance to the teaching of Core Maths:
- Teaching Mathematics through Problem Solving (30 credits)
- Teaching Mathematics for Understanding (30 credits)
