Securing Foundations at Year 7
Securing Foundations at Year 7
Discover ways to help students who need additional support to make good progress in KS3 and beyond
This opportunity aims to provide professional development and resources for secondary maths teachers so they are better equipped to support students with gaps in understanding from previous Key Stages. Teachers will develop their understanding of KS1 and KS2 maths curriculum domain-specific knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge in order to better enable these students to access the KS3 curriculum.
Who can take part?
This project is for teachers working with those Year 7 students who have not met age related expectations in maths, particularly students whose attainment is in the bottom 20-30% of the national cohort at the end of KS2. It is suitable for experienced or novice teachers.
A pair of participants from each school will join a Work Group; the pair should comprise at least one teacher with QTS, but may include a teaching assistant or similar. However, it would NOT be suitable for a TA to join on their own.
