LLME Toolkit Overview

LLME Handbook 2025 onwards
*New* LLME 2025/26 Handbook (document) - 28/07/25

Illuminate 2024 onwards
These articles shines a light on ideas, models, techniques and components of PD that LLME use in their work with teachers and leaders to improve mathematics education.

In 2020/21, we brought together for the first time a range of support materials for Work Group Leads into a single Work Group Lead Toolkit. We are now gradually extending and updating these materials where needed, but now as an LLME toolkit. Currently, the material is more focused on Work Group Leads, but this will evolve to have material relevant to all LLME:

Toolkit Units
For each of the units, there is a link to the narrated video presentation and the slide set is also available.

We expect the LLME toolkit to continue to develop, and we will both revise existing material and develop new material as time goes on. When revisions have been made or new elements added this will be made clear in the dates column. 

Feedback from users regarding the toolkit is welcome. Please send any feedback to mathshubs@ncetm.org.uk
