Developing A Level Pedagogy

Develop improved teaching approaches for A level Mathematics

Participant Feedback

“Great discussions, sharing good practices and resources”
“Sharing the resources and useful information with my department as well as the relevant classes”
“Good to meet with other A level teachers and share thoughts and ideas. “

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).

What will you learn?

Your students will have a deeper conceptual understanding of the A level Maths content
You will understand the purpose of the Overarching Themes, including use of technology, and their impact on teaching and learning in A level Maths
You and your department will have a better understanding of how ideas behind teaching for mastery can be used in the classroom
You and your department will have a deeper understanding of content pedagogic knowledge for A level Maths
