This project replaces the previous Supporting GCSE Resit Work Group.
Somerset Work Group, starting Friday 17 January 2025!
Who can take part?
This is for teachers of GCSE Maths, and for those teaching GCSE Maths resit and/or Functional Skills Maths. Participants may be based in secondary schools, UTCs, FE colleges, Sixth Form colleges, schools with post-16 provision, or other post-16 settings.
What is involved?
This is for teachers whose students will study Level 2 maths across secondary and post-16. Teachers of Years 10 and 11, and of post-16 GCSE Maths resit and/or Functional Skills Maths, will develop ways to support students who need to study maths beyond age 16 to achieve a L2 qualification.
Work Groups will focus on developing transferable teaching techniques aligned to teaching for mastery. Participants will attend three full-day workshops and complete practice-based tasks between sessions.
Participants will attend the equivalent of three full days of workshops across the academic year, and will be expected to complete practice-based tasks between sessions.
What will you learn?
- Your students will demonstrate a positive attitude to maths
- You will ensure that lesson design and pedagogy demonstrate a secure knowledge of curriculum continuity and sequencing
- You will understand the importance of consistency of language and representations relating to specific curriculum areas
- You and your colleagues will make collaboration a normal part of transition, supporting students continuing to work towards a L2 maths qualification
What is the cost?
The Cross Phase – Supporting Low Attainers to Achieve a L2 Qualification in Mathematics project is fully funded by the Maths Hubs Programme so is free to state-funded participating schools/colleges.
