Transforming children's lives: Become an Accredited Numicon Trainer
Numicon training ensures that Numicon is used to its best advantage, releasing its potential to transform children's attitude to maths and significantly increase their achievement. We have significantly increased the number of Numicon Trainers over the past 12 months but are still looking to expand our quality assured training in some areas of the UK, especially in the South West of England. Demand is growing, and comes from a range of Numicon users including Local Authority support teams; Mathematics consultants; schools seeking training for both teachers and teaching assistants and charities supporting children with special needs.
Our team of enthusiastic, accredited trainers deliver interactive training, giving direct experience of Numicon activities and insight into the underpinning theory. Training gives teachers a chance to reflect on their pedagogy, and supports them in processing new and challenging ideas. Our training aims to ensure that teachers feel inspired, confident and keen to start using Numicon straight away whether in the classroom, in support groups or one-to-one.
Training is primarily delivered in whole of half day workshops. Occasionally introductory twilight sessions are delivered to schools that are local to a Numicon trainer. If twilight training is required this will need to be over two one-and-a-half hour sessions to cover the content of the half-day training workshop. Workshops are for a maximum of 30 - as training is most effective where participants can have hands on experience of some of the Numicon activities.
There are two stages to becoming an accredited Numicon trainer:
- Application and selection
- Completion of Numicon Training for Trainers course and full accreditation (Next Training session later in the year)
