Training
'We had the designer and trainer for SPEAR Math in yesterday afternoon to lead a 3 hour inset for staff on the process and the new math curriculum. There are not sufficient superlatives to convey just how fantastic it was – the KS3 math teachers who attended are still raving about it today and have already downloaded some material to use with the secondary students.'
