Developing A Level Pedagogy

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.

What is involved?

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 will you learn?

• Your students will have a deeper conceptual understanding of the A level Maths content
• You will understand the purpose of the 'overarching themes', including use of technology, and their impact on teaching and learning in A level Maths
• You and your department will have a better understanding of how ideas behind teaching for mastery can be used in the classroom
• You and your department will have a deeper understanding of pedagogic content knowledge for A level Maths

What is the cost?

The Work Groups, run by the Maths Hubs Programme, in partnership with the AMSP, are free to participating schools and colleges.
