Collaborative learning and peer observation are powerful tools for teacher CPD. Teachers, who are often working in relative isolation within their classrooms, benefit from and value the opportunity to observe different practice in different contexts. There may be innovative ideas to try out in class or to disseminate in school, as well as opportunities to discuss pedagogy with colleagues and to challenge long-held ideas.
The national Maths Hub programme uses the Teacher Research Group (TRG) as a core tool within which to disseminate ideas around Maths Mastery. Nationally, the National Centre for Excellence in the Teaching of Mathematics (NCETM) has trained 133 specialists and by the end of this academic year, the projection is a total of 280 specialists nationwide, fully trained and working with 1,700 schools – by 2020 the aim is to have worked with half of the primary schools in England.
