Developing A level Pedagogy
These Work Groups support experienced A level teachers to not only further develop their expertise but provide a model to support departmental change.
​
Who can take part?
​
Participants should be existing leaders of A level teaching or experienced teachers of A level Mathematics who wish to lead the development of pedagogy with other colleagues in their own or other schools.
​
This project would be particularly useful to those who may have already completed other (AMSP) A level courses such as Teaching A level Mathematics (TAM) or Preparing to Teach A level Mathematics.
​
What is involved?
​
The content of individual Work Groups will be flexible to meet the needs of participants, but will be broadly linked to the Overarching Themes of the A level qualification: problem solving and mathematical thinking; mathematical modelling and representations; proof, reasoning and mathematical communication.
​
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 be equipped to better support the development of stronger
subject knowledge pedagogy -
You and your department will further embed the Overarching Themes into your A level
​
The Developing A Level Pedagogy project is fully funded by the Maths Hubs Programme and the
MSP so is free to participating schools/colleges.
