Blended CPD offer to meet the continuum of need  FMSP CPD will be a blend of courses, teacher networks, funded projects, and resources focusing on subject knowledge, pedagogy and embedding in practice  This blend will enable the programme to respond appropriately and flexibly to the needs of individual teachers and schools and colleges  In the longer term it will include teacher-led PD where teachers can access resources that are freely available to them through the FMSP

Support for teachers  Advice will be available to teachers from all FMSP staff, by or over the telephone  Students’ study/revision days will be open to teachers free of charge. In the past many teachers have benefited from attending these days to get an overview of a module.

FMSP and the NCETM The NCETM Funded Projects Scheme is divided into three areas: Teacher Enquiry Funded Projects (TEFP), Mathematics Knowledge Networks (MKN) and the Regional Projects Programme (RPP). The TEFPs are suitable for teachers who are keen to undertake action research focused on a particular area of their teaching. The MKNs are for teachers who may want to work with other colleagues within a more structured approach. The RPP is for those who would like to make a start in the area of teacher enquiry but would welcome help from a regional coordinator to support them through the process.
