=Welcome to 'Raising the achievement' project wiki!= **This project, led by the [|Bath Spa University] **  ( [|Bath, England]  ) is developing a new mathematics education initiative in the academic year 2009/2010. This is a collaborative project between universities and schools with the aim of raising achievement in mathematics from the beginning of teacher training and the support offered to established teachers to engage in a programme of continuing professional development. This project has three aspects:


 * Collaborative teaching practice
 * Saturation teaching - intervention through identification of challenges to engage
 * History of mathematics

International network

 * [|Bath Spa University] **provides expertise on collaborative teaching practice and the history of mathematics (see [|an example here] )
 * [|University of Utrecht’s Freudenthal Institute] **provides expertise on ‘realistic mathematics education’ and the history of mathematics in the curriculum
 * University of Sussex ** provides expertise on the history of mathematics focus and how involvement with original artifacts can improve engagement (see [|Newton Project website] ).
