The training is designed to help understand the barriers people face when accessing maths learning, how children and parents can be supported to develop positive attitudes, and how to help promote positive parental engagement.
Equipping the CLD practitioners and STEM Ambassadors with this training, the project’s main aim is to improve confidence in these groups, and give champions the knowledge and understanding to support families with numeracy upskilling in community-based learning.
Champions will go on to use their training to support people in the community to feel good about maths, so they feel more able to engage with numeracy learning.
With four online training programmes running in Autumn 2022, Phase 2 of the project has funded places available for up to 30 individual CLD practitioners and STEM Ambassadors, in each of the following regions:
- Northern Alliance (programme starts 1st September 2022)
- South East Collaborative (programme starts 18th October 2022)
- Tayside Collaborative (programme starts 30th November 2022)
A programme will also be run in December, that is open to community learning practitioners and STEM Ambassadors from all regions in Scotland.
