What is this course about?

Over the 20 years I have taught, how I model new ideas to students has changed dramatically. In this workshop, we examine how to deliver a clear, concise, teacher-led I Do and how to maximise the chance of our students following our explanation.

Frequently asked questions

Who is the course for?

This workshop is relevant for maths teachers from Key Stages 2 upwards. The content may transfer to Key Stage 1, but I cannot promise.

Can I share this course with my colleagues

After you purchase this course, you can show the videos to colleagues as part of a whole school CPD session or a departmental meeting.

You are not allowed to share the videos to colleagues outside of your school.

Do I need to prepare anything in advance?

  1. Everyone will need something to write on, either paper or a mini-whiteboard.

  2. You may wish to print a copy of the prioritisation template in the first section for each person, or they can sketch it themselves.

  3. Colleagues will have lots of opportunities to discuss ideas, so please ensure the seating arrangements facilitate this.

Where can I find the research and resources mentioned in the course?

I will share a link at the end of course showing where you and your colleagues can access all the relevant research and resources

The easiest way to pay is online. The service accepts all major cards as well as PayPal. Paying this way gives you immediate access to the course, and you can access a VAT receipt by clicking on your account profile.

But if you need to pay via invoice, then no problem!  Just send an email to mrbartonmaths@gmail.com with details of:

1. The email addresses of the person(s) taking the course

3. Who to email to invoice to

Then I will send you an invoice and register your colleagues for the course.
