- Published: 12 September 2011
A new training programme for teachers of maths has been announced by the Minister of State for Research and Innovation, Sean Sherlock TD.
The programme forms part of the Government’s overall strategy to improve the teaching and learning of maths in schools.
It will provide unqualified maths teachers with the opportunity to upskill their knowledge of mathematics and study the strategies best suited to the new Project Maths syllabuses.
The Department is developing a competitive process to select provider/s to deliver training in this area.
Tenders will be invited shortly for the programme which will combine on-line learning with lectures provided on a regional basis.
The training will benefit the cohort of teachers that has been identified in a recent survey by the Teaching Council as not having maths qualifications.
