Katheryn has been spent the last 4 years researching Maths in FE as a part of CfEM. The work included more than 30 action research teachers. Katheryn is going to talk about the journey to a  mastery specialism and what that meant to her practice. One of the research projects took maths into Vocational areas by using a simple maths tool.  ETF The education and training foundation have now adopted this as a part of their own CPD on how to get maths into vocational areas.
