Our Tuesday Twitter-based chats

Secondary maths teachers Gemma Scott and Kathryn Darwin both occasionally host the NCETM’s Tuesday evening Twitter-based chat under the hashtag #mathscpdchat. Why do they do it? Aren’t they busy enough as senior members of their maths departments? And why do they think these chats can provide powerful CPD for maths teachers, even those who don’t use Twitter?

Show notes

Taking part in the discussion are:

  • Gemma Scott, head of maths at an 11-18 comprehensive near Hull
  • Kathryn Darwin, second in department at an 11-16 comprehensive in West Yorkshire
  • Steve McCormack, NCETM Communications Director.
