Update on Maths Recovery CPD in East Lothian. February 23, 2009
Posted by Mhairi Stratton in : Uncategorized , add a commentThis session the Maths Recovery Team have delivered MR Tracker sessions to individuals, departments, whole schools and even whole clusters! We will continue to run courses as and when requested.
In addition to this, the team have been busy creating MR Tracker boxes for every school. These contain a variety of resources which support this approach. After the Easter break, we aim to hold drop-in sessions where teachers can collect a box for their school, meet their cluster Maths Recovery Teachers and get fresh ideas. We hope that this will lead to further drop-in sessions where teachers can share good practice and support one another. Watch this space!
Four members of the team are also working towards a PGCE in Maths Recovery. Once completing this course, they will support full Maths Recovery training within this authority. This in-depth course would be of particular interest to SfL teachers, secondary maths teachers and primary teachers who wish to further develop their knowledge of maths recovery teaching. These courses should be available from October 2009.

Maths Recovery in East Lothian January 24, 2007
Posted by Ewan in : Uncategorized , 3commentsThis is a brand new blog to help a team of Primary teachers in East Lothian communicate better about what techniques they are employing to make the most of the Maths Recovery programme.
If you come back to this blog each week or so you will discover what the programme is, how it helps the children in our classrooms and you can also join the discussion to share ideas on how we can do things even better.
If you want to become an author on this blog, because you are working on the same programme in East Lothian, then just get in touch by leaving a comment on the blog. If you use the Maths Recovery programme in a school outside East Lothian we would love to hear from you in the comments, and see where we can learn from each other.
