Professional Development Resources
The self evaluation pages on the NCETM allow a practitioner to identify strengths and areas for development. In addition to these pages, there are also a raft of additional CPD resources and research. Click on the icon to access the pages.
These materials are based on the APP assessment criteria and organised in the National Curriculum levels. There is a set for each of the old national curriculum levels 4 to 8. The focused assessment materials include for each assessment criterion:
- examples of what pupils should know and be able to do so that teachers have a feel for how difficult the mathematics is intended to be. These are not activities or examples that will enable an accurate assessment of work at this level. To do this, you need a broad range of evidence drawn from day-to-day teaching over a period of time/ This is exemplified in the Standards files, which are provided as part of the overall APP resources.
- probing questions for teachers to use with pupils in lessons to initiate dialogue and help to secure their assessment judgement.
