Supporting Students to Achieve a Level 2 Qualification in Maths
Project Code: NCP26-20
Develop teaching approaches across secondary and post-16 to support students working towards GCSE resit or Functional Skills.
Who can take part?
This opportunity 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?
These Work Groups are for teachers whose students will study up to Level 2 maths across secondary and post-16. Teachers of Years 10 and 11, and of 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 is the cost?
The Work Group is fully funded by the Maths Hubs Programme, so is free to participating schools and colleges.
