POST-16
Developing A Level Pedagogy
Develop improved teaching approaches for A level Mathematics
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 content, and driving their subsequent success.
Participants will design and trial classroom activities, sharing and reflecting on their experiences with others in their Work Group. Participants will engage with the Maths Hubs Network and the Advanced Mathematics Support Programme (AMSP), who are working in partnership to deliver this opportunity.
What you need to know
This Work Group is for A level Maths institutions and involves established teachers who are looking to deepen their pedagogical understanding around a locally selected theme. Participants must be teaching a current A level Maths group. Teachers who will find this Work Group particularly useful include those who may have already completed other A level subject knowledge and pedagogy CPD. It is NOT a subject knowledge enhancement project.
Schools/colleges must release participants to attend all Work Group sessions, and participants must attend all sessions, and complete activities between them.

Who can take part?
Participants will be established teachers or leaders of A level Maths who are looking to deepen their pedagogical understanding and lead the development of pedagogy in A level teaching with other colleagues. They must teach an A level Maths class in 2026/27.
This Work Group would be particularly useful for those who may have already completed other A level subject knowledge and pedagogy CPD.
