PMDT takes pride in its team of Local Facilitators
11 June 2010
The Project Maths Development Team (PMDT) is a growing entity! The work of the fulltime team was very ably complemented this year by the addition of a team of 56 local facilitators. These local facilitators are self-nominated and PMDT hopes that this number will grow next year as more teachers of mathematics come on board to facilitate the delivery of professional development to colleagues and to share and develop their experience and good practice.
Year 1 of the programme of professional development is drawing to a close. The involvement of local facilitators meant that PMDT was able to offer a series of ICT skills courses and content courses in addition to the programme of workshops run nationally.
Local facilitators ran 33 ICT courses in conjunction with the NCTE. These courses were attended by 512 teachers. Another team of local facilitators delivered 30 local courses to 630 teachers in Strand 1 Statistics and Probability. These courses were designed to support teachers in the use of the DVD which had been produced by the NCE-MSTL.
The demand for these courses was such that PMDT is now offering another 14 courses regionally in June with further courses planned for Term 1 of the 2010-2011 school year.
The course materials are currently available at www.projectmaths.ie
The PMDT welcomes its new facilitators and hopes that you too might consider joining our expanding team in the coming year.
