Who can take part?
Participants will be established teachers or leaders of A level Maths who are looking to deepen their pedagogical understanding. They must be teaching a current A level Maths group.
This Work Group would be particularly useful for those who may have already completed other A level subject knowledge and pedagogy CPD.
What is involved?
These Work Groups explore and deepen participants' pedagogic content knowledge, empowering teachers to enhance their classroom practice and to influence department-wide A level teaching. They are an engine for improving student understanding of A level Maths, and driving their subsequent success. Participants will design and trial classroom activities, sharing and reflecting on their experiences with others in their Work Group.
The project involves a direct working partnership between the Maths Hubs Network and the Advanced Mathematics Support Programme (AMSP).
Participants will attend 3 days across the academic year led by an expert Work Group Lead.
Participants must be able to commit to attending all Work Group sessions and engaging with and completing school-based activities between Work Group sessions.
