3. A Big Idea for me
How proportional reasoning has changed the way I teach and the way I think about mathematics.

5. Professional Development Leads
Heads of maths departments, ASTs, local authority maths advisers, primary maths subject leaders, independent maths consultants, mathematics SLEs, HEI maths education tutors, functional skills leads, maths teacher trainers… …Mathematics teachers who seek to lead others in their development as teachers of mathematics

6. Using website – cohort community
All participants are made members of the community “PD Lead Primary/Secondary Cohort ** ”
The cohort community is used for all general communications to the cohort group
All programme materials are stored in relevant folders in the documents section
The community provides the setting for cohort wide discussion topics such as “Welcome and introductions” and “Information and questions about programme”
It is important that “Subscription” is set to “Notify me of new posts and new files” or “Weekly digest of new posts and new files”

10. PD Lead Programme goals
In the first wave of the PD Lead Support Programme the NCETM was commissioned by the DfE to establish and sustain a community of at least 800 accredited mathematics professional development leads, who will provide increased capacity for high quality and high priority maths-specific professional development within a school-led self-improving system. This target has been reached. With the establishment of the Maths Hub programme, hubs are now taking over this role of developing PD Leads.
