Researching Effective CPD in Mathematics Education
The Researching Effective CPD in Mathematics Education (RECME) project was set up under the umbrella of the National Centre for Excellence in the Teaching of Mathematics (NCETM) in England, who provide these resources.
The project's aim was to provide advice, guidance and recommendations to be used by NCETM to inform future planning, as well as to highlight evidence to demonstrate the positive impact that CPD has on teaching and learning.
The specific aims of the project were to:
*characterise different types of continuing professional development for teachers of mathematics, to include both formal and informal experiences.
*investigate the interrelated factors that contribute to effective CPD for teachers of mathematics.
*investigate evidence of effective CPD for teachers of mathematics.
*establish the roles of research in professional development for teachers of mathematics.
*investigate the influence of the NCETM portal on professional development for teachers of mathematics.
[b]Final report[/b] - studies a sample of 30 initiatives to provide a broad overview of the factors contributing to a joint understanding of what CPD is. The report analyses CPD initiatives in terms of the organisation of the meetings, presents six case studies and investigates the responses teachers provided as evidence of effective CPD.
[b]Summary[/b] - provides information on the initiatives studied in the project and includes recommendations for the mathematical focus of professional development, as well as the approaches adopted for professional development and changing practice.
