Improving whole school performance through mathematicsImproving whole school performance through mathematics http://www.ncetm.org.uk/selfevaluation Improving whole school performance through mathematics
The quality of provision in mathematics is key to improving mathematics standards themselves and standards in other subjects.
The National Centre for Excellence in the Teaching of Mathematics (NCETM) provides strategic leadership for mathematics-specific CPD. The NCETM portal includes a number of tools that can support school leaders and teachers in improving mathematics provision.
Using the NCETM portal, teachers can use Self Evaluation Forms or plan Performance Related Management targets that will have the greatest impact on learners.
The NCETM portal allows teachers to design a professional learning journey, during which they can discuss and share effective practice with teachers in other institutions.
