NUMERACY ENERGISERS:
FOR TEACHERS OF LEARNERS DEVELOPING NUMERACY SKILLS THROUGH WORK-BASED OR VOCATIONAL TRAINING
28 - 30 January 2005, Bath
25 - 27 February 2005, Coventry
11 - 13 March 2005, Leeds
NIACE's first series of Numeracy Energisers for Adult and Community educators proved to be extremely popular with practitioners. This series has been designed specifically for tutors
* Who feel that their own maths is wobbly
* Who haven't yet achieved a Level 3 qualification in Numeracy
* Are anxious about their teaching in this area
In particular, these Energisers are appropriate for
* Basic skills tutors who are trying to make their teaching vocationally relevant
* Vocational tutors who have been asked to include Numeracy in their teaching
* Tutors whose first love isn't Numeracy
These events will provide participants with the opportunity to
* Develop some confidence in their own mathematical thinking and numerical skills
* Acquire some methods for helping learners with varied backgrounds, perspectives and experiences of numeracy/maths
* Tackle specific parts of the Core Curriculum in ways that are relevant to learners preparing for, or in employment
* Have some fun - yes, fun! - while doing the above
