Supporting Students to Achieve a L2 Qualification in Maths

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 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
• You and your colleagues will make collaboration a normal part of transition, supporting students continuing to work towards a L2 maths qualification

What is the cost?

The Work Groups are fully funded by the Maths Hubs Programme, so are free to participating schools and colleges.
