I’m delighted to announce a new range of maths CPD opportunities available for 2018, all with the aim of making my work high-impact and as cost-efficient as possible.
I’m particularly excited to advertise my teaching and staff training days support. Here, I am proposing coming into schools and teaching up to three example lessons per day, allowing teachers to see visual, deep maths learning in action! I would also, if requested, run a staff meeting after school.
I’ve found that my training has had the greatest impact where schools have been immersed in a combination of example lessons and training, so I’m delighted to be able to make this offer. Not that I can promise perfect lessons: I’m very happy, though, for people to learn from both my successes and my failures in the classroom!

Over the last four years I have ran a series of conference training events. However, with school budgets increasingly tight (and the cost of hiring venues becoming increasingly expensive), this no longer seems like a cost-efficient way of delivering training. Instead, I’m looking for schools, teaching schools and organisations that would like to host a conference. This will minimise costs, especially for the host school/organisation.

I’m also looking forward to running more whole-school INSET and twilight training events, giving schools a collective, exciting vision for developing rich maths learning experiences. The new pricing structure discounts training for smaller schools and provides significant discounts for cluster training events.

At the time of writing I have space for eight more bookings this school year (one day left in May, three in June, four in July) then I am taking bookings for 2018-2019.
I love my work. I teach more maths lessons than ever, meet more passionate teachers every week and have plans to create so many more new resources. I hope, in one way or another, I can help you to deliver great maths lessons!

Hi.
I have been looking at your hold a conference event. We are a small academy trust. But majority of staff that would attend would be from special education. A few having worked in mainstream and a few being non maths trained. However a large proportion of the students are working within tha range (eyfs to ks1). We do have others beyond this but the Number sense is one we definitely need to develop with our lower attaining students. Have you ever done this or worked with Sen schools on similar theme? Thank you.
Hi, thanks for getting in touch. I’ve only just seen this message, sorry for the slow reply! I’ve some but not vast experience of working with special educational needs schools, but I think the principles of developing number sense (and the methodologies for doing so) would have a huge impact in this setting. If you are looking at planning an event drop me an email at gareth.metcalfe@hotmail.co.uk and I can describe what I can offer in a bit more detail.
