Developing A Level Pedagogy

Project Code: NCP25-24 

Develop improved teaching approaches for A level Mathematics.

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

What is the cost?

The Developing A Level Pedagogy project is fully funded by the Maths Hubs Programme and the AMSP so is free to participating schools/colleges.
