Maths lead CPD
Maths lead CPD for when you cannot be in six classrooms at once.
Our maths lead CPD is training for maths coordinators who need one good idea to survive in rooms they are not standing in. It works with the scheme your school already uses: we do not replace it, we help every teacher get more from it.
The bits that eat your time
Four jobs that stopbeing yours.
Four routine parts of the maths lead role come off your desk with the membership. None of them is the interesting part of the job, and all of them are the reason maths leads end up doing CPD in their own evenings.
Instead of
Writing the staff meeting
Eleven webinars, already made, already the right length for a twenty-minute slot.Press play and it is done.
Instead of
Inducting every new starter yourself
They get the same library on their first week, without you booking anything or repeating a session you have already run twice.
Instead of
Being the only person who can answer it
A teacher who is stuck on Sunday evening has the lesson in front of them.They stop waiting to catch you on Monday.
Instead of
Making the case to SLT from scratch
One invoice, one price, and evidence you can put in a report without building a spreadsheet first.
A first term that works
You do not need tolaunch anything.
A good first term for a maths coordinator changes one thing, in one year group, and lets the rest follow. The schools where this sticks do not announce it.This is the order that tends to work.
Week one
Watch one lesson yourself
Pick the topic your books say is weakest. Twelve minutes. You are deciding whether the method is worth anyone else's time.
Week two
Show one animated video in one staff meeting
Ninety seconds, no preamble. Ask what people noticed. That conversation does more than a slide deck about representations.
First half term
Two year groups, same language
Not the whole school. Two teachers who are willing, using the same words for the same picture, so children moving between them are not relearning it.
Second half term
Look in books, not at a survey
Bars drawn before working out, in the children's own hand, is the evidence. It is visible in a book scrutiny without anyone preparing for one.
Spring
Bring in the INSET day, if it is earning it
By now you know whether it is worth a whole-school day — and the day includes the membership, so nothing is paid for twice.
When SLT ask
The three questionsyou will be asked.
Senior leaders usually ask what it costs, how much time it takes out and how you will know it worked. Worth having the answers ready before the conversation rather than during it.
“What does it cost?”
£399 a year for the school, whatever the headcount. Not per teacher, not per key stage, and it does not change when staff do.
“How much time out?”
None. No INSET day to book, no supply cover, no twilight everyone resents. Teachers watch what they need when they need it.
“How will we know it worked?”
Bars in books before the arithmetic, and children explaining a method rather than an answer. Both visible in ordinary monitoring.
