Aims

• To provide support in developing your professional practice and that of departmental colleagues
• To consider how your department can develop your curriculum in line with the 2019 Ofsted Framework

Who will benefit from attending?

Teachers who wish to improve their teaching of GCSE maths and/or the skills of their students.

Please note: This course also ran in previous academic years under the title Raising Confidence in Reasoning and teachers who attended these courses may benefit more from attending a different course.

Content

Recent changes to the GCSE have given greater prominence to reasoning in secondary education.

Raising Confidence with Thinking Mathematically provides strategies and resources for teachers to use in the classroom with GCSE maths students, with the objective of increasing the number of students that decide to choose maths beyond GCSE.

Other information

To get the most from our GCSE maths courses, it is suggested that your school/college also attends the other one day courses in the Raising Confidence suite. However, it is not necessary for the same teacher to attend all of the days. Raising Confidence has been designed to support different teachers on different days. All courses include pre- and post-course tasks to support teachers in discussing the content of the days, allowing them to share good practice across their departments.

Cost

Raising Confidence with Thinking Mathematically is free to state-funded schools and colleges.
