This On Demand Professional Development pod provides targeted support for teachers who are thinking of embarking on professional development for Core Maths and those teaching topics from Core Maths in other subject areas.
The content of this course will be suitable for any of the following:
- A maths teacher who has not previously taught GCSE Mathematics at Higher level
- A teacher of a subject which contains maths, such as Geography, Psychology or Biology

In each pod, teachers will experience a variety of content, including:
- a short video introducing the topic
- practice materials
- triggers for reflection and suggestions for further study.
We encourage you to interact and collaborate with others studying the same material via the online forums. An expert tutor monitors the forums and responds to queries. An expert tutor will be monitoring the forums and will respond to queries.
