LONDON, Oct. 24, 2019 /CNW/ - With the recent educational policy changes, teacher trainer organizations in England have the added responsibility of ensuring the literacy and numeracy skills of new teachers. To support its members in this task, the National Association of School-Based Teacher Trainers (NASBTT) has entered into a partnership with Vretta to raise the mathematics proficiency of new teachers.
The partnership has led to the creation of a custom version of Vretta's Elevate My Maths platform to upgrade the fundamental maths skills of new teachers. The program includes the diagnosis of teachers' strengths and weaknesses in maths, developmental modules and summative assessment to ensure the confidence of the teachers going forward.
