SUMMARY:AmplifyFE Community Space: How Can We Increase Engagement in Maths with Interactive Technologies?
DESCRIPTION:Many maths learners find it difficult to connect with abstract course content\, and as a result\, not only do they struggle to learn the material\, but they can also become demotivated\, anxious\, and disengaged. Fortunately\, learning technologies for maths make lessons much more “touchable”\, visual\, and relevant\, offering an effective means of engaging and motivating students\, deepening their understanding of fundamental concepts\, and reinforcing learning through practice. \n\n\n\nIn this session\, we’ll explore some of the ways interactive maths technology can be used effectively in the classroom\, from illuminating visualisations to interactive\, learner-led activities that naturally foster investigation\, collaboration\, and discussion. Demonstrations will be done using Maple Learn\, the online maths tool from Maplesoft\, with examples taken from the A-Level and GCSE content collections\, which conform to the AQA and Pearson exam specifications. These collections make it easy for educators to deliver engaging\, interactive maths experiences to their learners through the use of customisable content created to meet the specific needs of their class. \n\n\n\nWebinar leader: Karishma Punwani

SUMMARY:Compliance essential series: Understanding apprenticeship financial management – Funding\, forecasting\, costs and budgeting
DESCRIPTION:Apprenticeship financial management is complex.\n\nDo you and your organisation know whether your provision is modelled effectively and profitably? Do you meet the compliance obligations for pricing and costs?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGetting your apprenticeship pricing right is essential for DfE compliance but perhaps more importantly for operating a financially sound apprenticeship programme. This three part webinar series is designed for role holders working in finance or operations to understand the funding methodology in apprenticeships\, the compliance obligations and benefits of effective implementation.\n\nFor example:\nHow do you measure whether a new apprenticeship standard is financially viable for you to deliver?\nAre you clear on what the apprenticeship actually costs you to deliver and where a profit margin can be made?\nCan you forecast revenue effectively and identify profitability?\nAre you clear on what are eligible and ineligible costs and that you aren’t overclaiming or underclaiming funding?\nAre you reporting your training price breakdown correctly to the employer?\nHow do you recognise the apprentice’s prior learning and reflect this in your costings?\nAre you applying the correct training price for your own employees (which must be at cost price)?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSession 1 – The funding model in England and funded components\nSession 2 – Apprenticeship costs and pricing\nSession 3 – Necessary infrastructure and variables\n\n\n\n\nIn the webinar series\, we’ll help you to understand:.\n\n\n\n\n\n 	The apprenticeship funding model in England\n 	Understand price components of training and assessment\n 	Eligible and ineligible costs\, how to identify these at a budget level and implement an effective offer to an employer cost models and options\n 	The importance of effective contracts with employers\n 	The role of employer co-investment and models of collection to ensure compliance\n 	Additional funding components: additional payments and learning support\n 	The impact of prior learning on cost models\n 	Employer-provider variables\n\nYou will receive an ‘Apprenticeship costs and budgeting tool’\, ‘Revenue forecasting tool’ and a ‘Recognition of Prior learning calculator’ as well as a CPD attendance certificate as evidence of your personal development.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout your session\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDavid Lockhart-Hawkins\, SDN’s funding and compliance expert will facilitate this series. After working in the sector for over 20 years\, David has supported hundreds of providers to establish effective compliance systems. His in-depth understanding of funding and wider apprenticeship delivery gives him a unique insight into compliance across the organisation.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis series is for anyone involved in the development of apprenticeship budgeting and financial operations.

Low-level disruption\, emotional regulation\, disengagement\, and the growing pressures on learner wellbeing have all been widely reported. \n\n\n\nIn Professionally Speaking 2026\, we will be joined by Professor Kelly Mackintosh of Swansea University who will explore this pressing challenge and the potential role physical activity can play in supporting positive behaviour and wellbeing. \n\n\n\nProfessor Mackintosh\, an expert in physical activity for health\, will: \n\n\n\n\nexplore the evidence linking physical activity to improved behaviour and emotional regulation\n\n\n\nshare practical examples of how registrants can embed movement into the day\n\n\n\noffer new ideas to create calmer\, more inclusive\, and engaging learning environments\n\n\n\n\nFollowing the keynote presentation\, attendees will also have the opportunity to share their own experiences\, and put questions directly to Professor Mackintosh in a live Q&A. \n\n\n\nWhether you work directly with learners and young people\, or in a supporting or policy role\, this session will provide valuable perspectives on how physical activity can contribute to positive behaviour and wellbeing across all education settings. \n\n\n\nIt promises to be an engaging and thought-provoking discussion that blends research insight with practical\, real-world relevance. So don’t miss out\, secure your free ticket now. \n\n\n\nMore about the speaker\n\n\n\nProfessor Kelly Mackintosh is an expert in children’s physical activity for health\, with a particular focus on how schools can help young people build active\, healthy habits for life. \n\n\n\nBased at Swansea University\, her research explores how physical activity can influence behaviour\, well-being\, and learning\, and how simple\, evidence-based changes within education settings can make a lasting difference. \n\n\n\nProfessor Mackintosh has led and contributed to a range of innovative projects\, including the Children’s Health\, Activity\, and Nutrition: Get Educated! (CHANGE!) Project\, which aimed to improve primary school children’s well-being through better physical activity and eating behaviours. Her work has also explored creative approaches to engaging learners\, from after-school interventions that combine active video games with multi-skills training\, to high-intensity\, military-ethos programmes designed to boost motivation and confidence. \n\n\n\nWorking collaboratively across disciplines\, she has partnered with computer scientists\, engineers\, and healthcare professionals to develop new ways of encouraging movement\, including social goal-sharing technologies in a project entitled ‘Mission Possible’ and physical activity-based interventions supporting young people with long-term health conditions such as cystic fibrosis and asthma. \n\n\n\nProfessor Mackintosh has won several awards and is recognised internationally for her contributions to physical activity research\, evidenced as a top 1% researcher in her area. \n\n\n\nHer ongoing research continues to highlight the crucial role of physical activity not just in improving health\, but in supporting behaviour\, focus\, and overall well-being among children and young people.

SUMMARY:Compliant Recognition of Prior Learning and Experience
DESCRIPTION:The apprenticeship funding rules continue to focus on Recognising Prior Learning and Experience\, underlining the importance of identifying learners starting points. \nOur audit review work continues to identify a recurring weakness with many providers failing to fully implement the DfE funding rule requirements around negotiated price calculations and the recognition of prior learning and experience. \nAt this focused workshop\, we will: \n\nreview DfE apprenticeship funding rules and expectations for RPLE;\nConsider and identify\, in a simplified form\, eligible and ineligible costs and how to record them;\nconsider the initial assessment process and the impact prior learning and experience has on the cost\, content and duration of an apprenticeship programme;\nTalk through the strategies which a provider can employ to successfully implement the RPLE funding requirements.
