Welcome
#APConnect warmly welcomes you to the Maths/English Ideas Room, run by advanced practitioners as part of the Education and Training Foundation’s Professional Development Programme for Advanced Practitioners 2020-2021. The Ideas Room are open to all practitioners working across the education and training sector who are passionate about thinking for themselves and listening attentively to others’ ideas of supporting maths/English development for learners. Join Isla Flood & Dawn Smith for the English Ideas Room and/or Katheryn Cockerton and Marsida Horeshka for the maths Ideas Room to think as part of a community. It’s magical stuff!
The Ideas Rooms are an application of the Thinking Environment which was borne out of lockdown. It was spear-headed by Lou Mycroft and colleagues.
