Overview

Our Core Maths Summer Festival is an extensive series of online interactive workshops. Each session will provide resources and activities which you can take straight to the classroom.

You can download the Core Maths Summer Festival 2023 Programme to see a summary of all 8 sessions.

Please note that the main session content will be delivered in the first hour and a half of each session and the remaining time will be dedicated to questions and support.

Who will benefit from attending?

These sessions are designed to appeal to all teachers that wish to bring their contextualised maths lessons to life. No prior experience or knowledge of L3 Core Maths is required. 

Speaker

Rachel Beddoes

Rachel Beddoes is MEI’s Stakeholder Engagement and Careers Lead. This involves collaborating with employers to develop innovative student resources and deliver engaging enrichment events.

Content

The 'Gatsby Benchmarks' have provided schools with a framework to achieve career guidance for pupils. The AMSP has been working hard to provide you with the tools to meet those benchmarks especially Gatsby Benchmark 4: linking curriculum learning to careers. In this session, Rachel will be joined by Stephen Dodds from Newcastle Sixth Form College who will share his ‘easy to embed’ ideas. 

You will leave with lesson ideas to inspire and motivate your students that are easy to pick up and use and with an increased awareness of enrichment opportunities both in and out of the classroom. 

Materials and equipment

The sessions will take place via zoom. If you register for the session, you will be sent a zoom link one week before and on the day of the event.

We aim to emulate as much of the ‘face-to-face’ experience as possible and strongly encourage you to put your webcam on for some or all of the session. Please also come prepared to discuss and reflect for short periods in breakout rooms as this will be a feature of some of the sessions.

Due to the interactive nature of these events, they are not recorded. If you are looking for Core Maths PD that you can do in your own time we recommend our ‘On Demand Core Maths top-ups’.

Eligibility

All teachers are eligible to apply for a place at the festival. If the festival becomes over-subscribed, teachers from state-funded schools and colleges in England are given priority; this may mean that we may be unable to provide places to non-state-sector applicants.
