The National Mathematics Teacher Conference takes place on Saturday 14th June. It is the UKs largest single day event for mathematics teachers and is entirely free to attend.
The event is organised by La Salle Education as a means of ensuring that all teachers of mathematics, across primary and secondary schools, have access to high quality professional development as we move towards a new school year that sees the introduction of a new national curriculum and the removal of the longstanding system of curriculum levels.
The event is kindly sponsored by AQA.
The day consists of a variety of talks, workshops, networking, resource sharing and a panel debate.
With over 220 delegates attending, the vast majority being current practitioners, La Salle Education and AQA are proud to host what should prove to be an exciting, interesting and enjoyable day.
