To date, our workshops and professional network events have proved to be a valuable and welcome addition to teachers’ personal development plans and have had an immediate and positive impact on their teaching practice. As the Maths Hub Lead, you will provide the strategic and operational development leadership of the Möbius Maths Hub.
