one spinoff of the first meeting of this network came when maths teachers from various stages (primary and secondary) just got together; apart from the formal program, the relative anonymity of not knowing everyone can allow discussion (and “eavesdropping!”) on what the “other” stages really think. In the whitehills cluster, this lead to a followup meeting, around these provocative questions, mediated with the essential wine and cheese, (minutes here).
Anyway, one outcome was need for more shadowing (as well as sharing of textbooks, discussion of preferred outcomes, re tables etc) so shadowing is the next thing to get going
