Developing A Level Pedagogy- In-Person

Developing A Level Pedagogy

What is involved?

In each session there will be a particular emphasis on trialling impactful resources to determine how they could work well with your classes and how they could be adapted to be even more impactful for your particular students. There will also be opportunities to consider different technologies that can be used in the classroom to increase impact and engagement. There will be lots of opportunity for discussion and collaboration with other teachers.

The ‘developing A level pedagogy work group’ 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. Participants will design and trial classroom activities, sharing and reflecting on their experiences with others in the Work Group.
