Your email address:   The NCETMStandingProfessionalMinutiaeStandard Created on 02 October 2009 by ncetm_administrator Updated on 06 September 2017 by ncetm_administrator The NCETM CPD Standard On this page you can find out well-nigh the NCETMStandingProfessionalMinutiae(CPD) Standard, current holders of the standard, and who is eligible to apply. There are moreover details of how to apply, including links to using forms and guidance notes, as well as information well-nigh how the Standard is monitored.Well-nighthe NCETM CPD Standard The purpose of the CPD Standard is to help teachers of mathematics at all levels, and their institutions, to wangle information well-nigh the wide range of CPD provision on offer (not simply courses) and to be unpreventable of its righteousness and quality. To support this, the NCETM has ripened a well-spoken set of principles and Quality Mark criteria which pinpoint the CPD Standard. The goody to those arranging mathematics CPD from Standard Holders is that they can have conviction in the providers they choose; the goody for CPD providers is that their provision is increasingly likely to be chosen, as potential customers know its quality is assured. Standard Holders have increasingly prominent wangle to CPD participants via the NCETM website through the CPD Provider Directory. Entries provided by Standard Holders within the directory and on the ProfessionalMinutiaeCalendar are highlighted with a yellow rosette. There are e-newsletters and defended events to support Standard Holders, who are moreover invited to other relevant NCETM events and networks. Standard Holders can moreover exhibit the CPD Standard logo on their publicity materials to highlight the quality warranty it gives. In its report “Empowering teachers: success for learners” in 2013, the Advisory Committee on Mathematics Education welcomed the minutiae of the NCETM CPD Standard. In 2014, changes to the funding of the CPD Standard led to the introduction of a subscription scheme. New applicants for the Standard must join this surpassing going through the warrant process; existing Standard Holders must be current members to retain their accreditation. Current holders of the CPD Standard Across the NCETM website, CPD Standard holders are identified with a rosette. . In particular they are listed in the CPD Provider Directory and the ProfessionalMinutiaeCalendar. The full list of current Standard holders, with contact details, is here.   The NCETM CPD Standard - Criteria forConstructiveCPD The Standard is underpinned by research vestige on constructiveStandingProfessionalMinutiae(CPD) (ACME 2002) and (ACME 2006). There are three main components to constructive CPD: to develop teachers’ mathematical subject knowledge (subject knowledge) to enable teachers to utilise the outcome of CPD in their teaching (teaching) to help teachers construct a pedagogical framework well-nigh how children learn (pedagogy). On the NCETM website, these are presented as three ‘strands’ of constructiveStandingProfessional Development: broadening and worsening mathematics content knowledge; developing mathematics-specific pedagogy, which includes appreciating how learners engage with mathematics and likely obstacles to progression; embedding constructive mathematics pedagogy in practice. In this way, the National Centre seeks to promote CPD opportunities for teachers that impinge on all three strands in ways that are cumulative and sustained over the career of a teacher. Furthermore, vestige (ACME 2006) indicates the importance of reflection, collaboration and sharing. Providers are therefore requested to consider how they will meet some or all of the three components above, while simultaneously enabling reflection, collaboration with other colleagues, and sharing (GTC 2007). Sharing in this context includes collaborative work with other teachers in one’s own setting, but could moreover go vastitude a teacher’s classroom/school/department (e.g. a blog, contributions to a professional forum, or a short piece of writing for a professional journal). Who can apply? Any person or organisation providing mathematics-specific CPD in England is encouraged to wield for the Standard. This could include: teaching school alliances, seminar chains, multi-academy trusts and other schools and colleges providing CPD vastitude their institution FE and sultana education providers higher education institutions local authorities subject associations and other national mathematics education organisations with CPD responsibilities  commercial providers private contractors and freelance consultants who unhook CPD in their own name (or private contractors and freelance consultants who unhook CPD in their own right) awarding bodies. Note: it is not sufficient to provide mathematics education CPD solely within your own single educational institution. How to wield Please refer to the Flow Chart of Actions surpassing applying to join the subscription scheme and preparing a full submission. If you – or the organisation in whose name you are applying – are a well-established CPD provider (usually with over a year's experience), then you are encouraged to make a submission on the Full Submission Form, using the Full Submission Guidance Notes to guide you. Particular notice should be taken of the requirements for vestige as detailed in the section below,Vestigeto support your application. You will moreover need to join the subscription scheme by returning a Service Level Agreement surpassing your submission can be reviewed. . The SLA is a legal contract and its terms and conditions should therefore be read carefully. You need to sign the SLA on behalf of the Standard Holder and return this to the CPD Admin Team at Tribal, ensuring a reprinting is kept for your own records.Pursuitreceipt of your SLA and visa into the subscription scheme, an invoice tent your first 12-month membership will be issued. Once wonted as a Standard holder, your organisation will then receive an initial towage verification (IAV), support and review (ISAR) opportunity or a renewal verification (RV) as towardly and/or when due within any12-month subscription period. If you have any queries well-nigh the process please email standard_enquiries@ncetm.org.uk.Vestigeto support your usingVestigerequirements All vestige submitted must be from CPD provision offered in the name of the write-in for the Standard (whether that is an individual or an organisation). For a full submission you are required to submit a portfolio of vestige to when up the various statements that you make in your submission in relation to each of the Quality Marks.Vestigeprovided to support your using should imbricate the full range of your - or your organisation's - CPD provision: for example, in-school support / consultancy, courses, CPD materials, collaborative teacher projects, research projects, etc., and any other forms of professional minutiae support that you provide. Note that a piece of vestige may be used to satisfy increasingly than one of the Quality Mark criteria and be related to increasingly than one element of your provision. Note: there is an ‘Appendices of Evidence’ section at the end of the submission form in which you should list all the pieces of vestige that you provide and identify the Quality Mark and criteria to which each piece of vestige relates. Note that a piece of vestige might relate to increasingly than one criterion; but each yardstick should be covered by at least one piece of evidence. Large quantities of vestige are not required. We teach that, when completing your submission form, you unmistakably label the vestige you provide in the ‘Appendices of Evidence’ section (e.g. ‘Appendix 1, Appendix 2a, Appendix 2b, ...’) and refer to them in the text under the ‘Provider’s supporting statement’ sections. Qualifying vestige Most of the vestige presented with an using form must be gathered within the English mathematics education standing professional minutiae arena.Vestigeof standing professional minutiae worriedness outside England, will be taken into account, but, since the Standard is a valid endorsement provision within the English mathematics education community, the weighting of such vestige will be low-scoring when compared with vestige gained in England; it will not be possible to unzip the Standard if the vestige provided has all been gathered outside England. You will find remoter guidance in the Full Submission Guidance Notes. How does the CPD Standard subscription scheme work? Accredited assessors siphon out the initial towage verifications (IAVs) and renewal verifications (RVs) of CPD Standard submissions from subscription scheme members. Each period of warrant is for three years surpassing reverification is required. An interim support and review (ISAR) is a service provided to members at the mid-point between verifications. All assessors have significant mathematics professional minutiae expertise and experience, gained through current and/or previous roles as CPD providers, local validity or national advisers/consultants. All assessors have undertaken training in the CPD Standard requirements and processes from the NCETM. The forfeit of providing IAVs, RVs and ISARs to CPD providers, both new applicants and existing Standard Holders seeking to renew their accreditation, is covered by revenue from subscriptions. Support and verification services are provided through a Service Level Agreement between the individual member (i.e. CPD Standard Holder) and Tribal, who manage the subscription scheme on behalf of the NCETM. Members are invoiced, in advance, for each 12 months of membership. Membership and the yearly subscription covers: An initial towage verification (IAV) An interim support and review (ISAR) opportunity provided every 18 months A renewal verification (RV) every 3 years Regular CPD Standard e-newsletters and other benefits How much does membership cost? For prospective applicants and for any lapsed Standard Holders (i.e. applying for membership without a previously-held Standard has lapsed), an initial towage verification (IAV) fee is payable, which moreover covers the ‘entry year’ subscription. For existing Standard Holders a lower and ongoing subscription rate is payable annually in order to retain warrant status. Subscription rates are based on a CPD provider’s size and type: Provider Category InitialTowageVerification (IAV) and entry year rate for new applicantsYearlysubscription for existing Standard Holders and from Year 2 for new Standard Holders Individual CPD Provider (with 1-2 trainers) £300 £195 Individual School (primary phase); Subject Association or Charity; Organisation/Company (with 3-5 trainers) £400 £205 Individual School (secondary phase); FE College; Organisation/Company (with 6-12 trainers) £400 £235 Teaching School Alliance, Maths Hub;SeminarChain, MAT or Federation; LocalValidity(with up to 100 schools £510 £265 University/HE Institution; LocalValidity(100+ schools); Organisation/Company (13+ trainers) £510 £350 Monitoring and feedback All holders of the NCETM CPD Standard stipulate to be part of an self-sustaining monitoring process. Anyone peekaboo an event or any other form of CPD provision offered by an NCETM CPD Standard holder is welcome to give feedback well-nigh the provision by emailing us with NCETM CPD Standard holder feedback in the subject line, providing details well-nigh the CPD opportunity, and their comments or suggestions in the soul of the text; there is no pro-forma for this. Receipt of all such feedback will be acknowledged. All feedback is reviewed by the NCETM CPD Standard holder mediation panel, with comments and evaluations communicated with the Standard holder in an towardly way in order to recognise good practice, encourage development, and signal where improvements need to be made to ensure standing status as a Standard holder.
