Improving numeracy remains a key challenge for education providers. In 2010/11 NIACE undertook research into innovative numeracy provision and brought 40 organisations together to discuss and share practice. The subsequent report, Innovative Practice in Numeracy Learning based on our findings was published in March 2011. This work was carried out on behalf of the Skills Funding Agency and included some of its top numeracy providers.
We are now seeking to gather more data on innovative delivery models for numeracy practice in order to produce a free downloadable resource to improve the quality of numeracy learning. We want to hear views from a range of providers who are achieving good results in numeracy about the success factors that underpin their provision.
We will be holding a free seminar in early 2012 to bring together providers to share their experiences of numeracy teaching and learning. You can register for this seminar and contribute to our call for evidence by completing this quick questionnaire or email: numeracylearning@niace.org.uk
In addition to this project, NIACE has completed a range of work on numeracy, the details of which can be found at http://www.niace.org.uk/current-work/area/numeracy
