This evaluation aims to identify learning, areas for enhancement and the perceptions of the effectiveness and outcomes of the programme, including participants' engagement and satisfaction with activities.
40 FE colleges across the UK are taking part in the CPD.
This is an evaluation which will include a baseline and endpoint survey of teachers and six face-to-face case studies in colleges.
All participants will be invited to complete a baseline and endpoint evaluation survey.
In addition, in six case-study colleges, interviews will be undertaken with a senior leader, the maths specialist lead, and teachers participating in the professional development, and focus groups will be conducted with students. The evaluation will explore perceptions of the effectiveness and outcomes of the professional development.
The evaluation has wider societal benefits as it will inform the development of post-16 maths CPD and support improved outcomes for learners.
The programme will be delivered to 40 FE colleges across the UK between February 2023 and March 2025.
Recruitment for this evaluation has been completed.
