Developing A Level Pedagogy- Online

Developing A Level Pedagogy

What is involved?

This project explores and deepens participants' pedagogic content knowledge, empowering teachers to enhance their classroom practice and to influence department-wide A level teaching.

It is an engine for improving student understanding of A level Maths, and driving their subsequent success. Initially we will focus on aspects of problem solving in the A level curriculum, but this will be flexible based on the interests of those who sign up.

Participants will design and trial classroom activities, sharing and reflecting on their experiences with others in the Work Group.

The project involves a direct working partnership between the Maths Hubs Network and the

Advanced Mathematics Support Programme (AMSP).

Who can take part?

Participants will be established teachers of A level Maths who are looking to deepen their pedagogical understanding. They must be teaching A level currently.

This Work Group would be particularly useful to those who may have already completed other A

level subject knowledge and pedagogy CPD.
