VALBEC Spring Forum - November 2008 'Numeracy activities for all teachers'

Since 1988, Noyona has worked as an adult numeracy specialist at LLU+ (formerly the Language & Literacy Unit), London South Bank University. LLU+ is the UK’s largest specialist professional development training and consultancy organisation in the field of adult literacy, numeracy, ESOL and other related disciplines. In 2003, after many years of championing the corner for adult numeracy, LLU+ was funded to set up the Adult Numeracy Professional Development Resource Centre – still the only one of its kind in England. Noyona now heads up a team of 6 numeracy specialists who are engaged in the important work of building capacity in the adult numeracy professional workforce, and developing innovative approaches to improving adults’ numeracy. Noyona’s current projects include research into adult numeracy for the National Audit Office, numeracy co-ordination across a national quality improvement programme, capacity building within the offender learning sector and managing the revision of the adult literacy, numeracy and ESOL core curricula. Her articles can be found in a range of practitioner journals.
