Continuing Professional
Development
The importance of teachers continually
engaging with professional development is
widely recognised in mathematics education.
Effective professional development enables
teachers to enhance their subject knowledge,
to develop their teaching skills, to improve the
quality of learning in their classrooms, and to
keep abreast of changes to the curriculum.
The professional development offered by MEI supports the
needs of individual teachers, mathematics departments
and the national mathematics community. It covers all
examination specifications across the 11–18 curriculum.
Practical activities are used
to explore and reinforce the
theoretical concepts.
Short courses are designed to help teachers focus on
specific areas of the curriculum, whilst longer courses
support teachers in taking significant steps forward in
their careers. All courses are delivered by experienced
teachers who are actively involved in a wide range of
aspects of mathematics education including curriculum
development, resource writing and examining.
All MEI courses provide on-going support to help teachers
embed ideas in their own classrooms. This support may
be face-to-face, by email, or in an online classroom. Many
courses include access to dedicated online resources.
Every course I have
done and every
resource I have used
so far has proved
endlessly useful,
thank you!
Meeting your needs
MEI is happy to tailor short courses to meet the local needs
of a host school or college. Recognising the difficulties
teachers may face in attending courses outside school
or college, MEI has also developed a range of courses
designed for teachers to access online.
Understanding how to improve your department can be
challenging. MEI can provide a constructive external
review, based around an intensive two-day visit. The
review considers all aspects of your department’s work,
particularly the quality of teaching and learning, and is
presented in a detailed formative report.
Sustained professional development
Year-long courses with extensive support and resources
to support teachers making the step up to teaching
mathematics at a higher level.

For teachers, including non-specialists, with some
experience of teaching KS3 mathematics.
Course participants benefit
from a wealth of expertise,
shared experiences and
resources.
Teaching A level Mathematics (TAM)
This course, for those new to teaching A level
Mathematics, may be taken either as a stand alone course
or as part of a Masters degree programme.

Enriching the curriculum at KS3
I really liked the
delivery of this
course. It was
lively, efficient
and effective.
These and other one day courses can be tailored to meet
local needs. They include optional follow-up sessions in an
online classroom.
Online courses
These courses focus on specific areas of A level
Mathematics. The online sessions offer between five and
ten hours of after school contact time with an experienced
tutor, and allow opportunities for interaction and discussion
within a small group setting.
