Below some of our Local Facilitators share their experience of working with the Project Maths Development Team.
Working as a Local Facilitator was a very enjoyable and rewarding experience. Firstly, the in-service training was excellent, ranging from the excellent NCE-MSTL course on Probability and Statistics by Ailish Hannigan to the skills involved in facilitation to seeing members of Team 1 and Team 2 deliver the content to us, the LFs, on the content of the Modular Evening courses. It was a true inspiration seeing people so competent and enthusiastic delivering these courses. The professional development provided was ongoing and very inclusive for all who attended throughout the year. The presentations provided were very useful to me as a Local Facilitator but the ideas and content discussed will also be very useful in my own subject planning and teaching methodologies into the future.
The delivery of the Modular Evening Courses themselves was a very challenging and worthwhile experience. It was lovely to build up a relationship with the participants over the weeks and to see them grow in confidence in the subject matter as the weeks progressed. The experience also deepened my own knowledge in the subject area as well as improving my confidence skills personally as a Local Facilitator.
I enjoyed building up friendships with many colleagues on the Project Maths team. It was a great opportunity to work as a team in a friendly professional environment. I enjoyed seeing the tremendous work being done on The Teaching and Learning Plans and it was it was enjoyable having the opportunity to have an input into them.
Throughout the year one of the aspects of being a Local Facilitator that stood out for me was the outstanding support provided. Whenever I had a doubt about an issue or any form of a question, the answer was always available without delay from the great support structure provided.
Without doubt I would recommend to anybody who has a genuine interest in the teaching and learning of maths going forward to get involved as a Local Facilitator. It’s a truly worthwhile experience both professionally and personally. (Pat)..... Read More >>
