The teacher training framework, introduced in September 2007, requires all
teachers in the post-16 sector to possess knowledge, understanding and personal
skills to at least level 2 in the minimum core for numeracy. Coverage and
assessment of the core have to be embedded in all Certificate and Diploma
courses leading to QTLS and ATLS status. This book is a practical guide to
numeracy for trainee teachers in the Lifelong Learning sector. It enables
trainee teachers to identify and develop their own numeracy skills and also to
support their students' numeracy.
