High Impact Lesson Ideas for NQT Maths TeachersPrintEmail

Course Description:

Over the last few years there has been a profound increase in our understanding of how pupils learn and how to structure effective lessons.

The aims of this course are:

• To provide a host of practical strategies to introduce a range of dynamic new ideas into your day-to-day teaching
• To provide motivational approaches that will encourage students to want to learn
