Here are just some of the comments
received from the training sessions run by Les Staves.

The courses are colourful and well thought-out. They use a wealth of illustrative resources and cover:

- Important aspects of early learning - which are precursors to mathematics.
- How children establish early mathematical concepts.
The presentations can cover:

- right through to how children learn about counting and the fundamental processes of
numeracy and calculation, recording and using and applying skills.
- Interpreting and developing appropriate curriculum and teaching approaches.
- Creative resources.
- Using P scales for teaching.
Each training session is interwoven with an entertaining demonstration of resources, that will give ideas to teachers of all kinds of children who working towards level one in special and mainstream schools.
Workshops can support:
- Teachers who are implementing the Numeracy Framework and developing lessons for very special pupils.
- Discussion of QCA guidelines and using P scales.
Enabling teachers to promote useful mathematical skills for very special pupils both in the daily Numeracy lesson and across the curriculum.
