Summary
STEM Learning is pleased to offer another round of the ‘New and Aspiring Leaders of Mathematics’ programme. This intensive two part residential professional development course has been developed for teachers new to, or aspiring to, lead a mathematics department in secondary schools. Attending the course will equip you with the knowledge and skills you need to lead a successful department.
This course will be delivered over a number of sessions, some of which will be delivered remotely on the days and times detailed below, with those later in the year being delivered face to face at the National STEM Learning Centre in York. To participate in full, you will need to ensure you have dedicated time away from the classroom for the remotely delivered elements of this course, as you would if this were a face to face course.
"The course has been brilliant. I have been able to identify the root of my frustrations and identify my own strengths and weaknesses, as well as reflect on others within my department. In doing this I will now be able to return and move forward in a positive and motivational way. Leading others and the department to further success." Past participant.
