This event has now taken place. But you can access all the video-presentations and event related content below! 

1. Welcome to CfEMLive 2021 – Data & Technology and Mastery (Friday 2 July 2021 09:30 for 10:00 – 3:30)

If you’re tweeting today, we’re using the hashtag #CfEMLive. We’d also love you to use #FEMaths – today is a great opportunity to join up maths practitioners all over the country (and do share your Twitter handle in chat once you’re in Zoom).

We are so excited to welcome you to the Education and Training Foundation’s hugely popular virtual Centres for Excellence in Maths (CfEM) conference. Our theme is Data & Technology and Mastery and we are excited to hear from CfEM partners about their action research. If you have joined up after the event has taken place, you can access all the video-presentations below. 

Here’s Cath Gladding, head of ETF’s CfEM National Research Advisor to welcome you to #CfEMLive. Next up is Joss Kang, co-host for room 2, explaining how the day works as you co-construct your own timetable. Then, meet Lou Mycroft – co-host for room 1 –  explaining how you can engage throughout the day with the presenters, each other and the wider maths community. 

2. Your #CfEM – and registration

As you’ll hear from the welcome videos, today is all about you and your maths pedagogy. Whether you are sharing your action research, or learning from others’ research, we will be encouraging you to listen, ask questions of others and appreciate the effort that has gone into each and every one of these research presentations. Please note that we will be filming all presentations and they will be stored in the public domain. Thank you.

But firstly two tasks for you. Please can you:

• register to tell us you’re here using this form? We’ll be using this information to update the ETF’s booking system
• review the timetable below and work out which sessions you want to access today

(we’ve designed the day so you can move between the two parallel zoom rooms at specific points & we’ll record so you can catch up on all sessions)  

Great. You’ve probably got time to go make a cuppa 😃

Now for the agenda & timetable. We’ve got four fabulous sessions for you today, each focused around some aspect of Maths Motivation & Engagement and/or Maths Mastery. Each presentation will last around 20 minutes, followed after by the opportunity to process your thinking making use of the Zoom break-out rooms in the morning, and this afternoon a Typeform. This ensures that you have some processing time, to discuss what you’ve been hearing. There will be no ‘death by feedback’, we promise!

We’ll keep you muted during the sessions, to minimise background noise, so do ask any questions via chat. Remember all the video-presentations will be edited and made available on this landing page and the ETF’s CfEM YouTube channel after the event.

The processing questions we’ll be using are:

What have you seen or heard that you’d like to implement in your own organisation? What’s your rationale for that?

We’ll keep coming back to these two questions in the morning breakout pairs/triads and afternoon’s Typeform. 

At a few minutes before 10am, please go to the Main Zoom Room for our CfEMLive21 welcome and then its straight into session one. All zoom links and password details (if needed) are in the relevant session of the timetable.
