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.

​

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

​

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 participating schools/colleges.
