The new national curriculum for Maths is the most radical curriculum review of the last 25 years for Maths teachers and subject leaders. This course considers how best to plan and deliver lessons which ensure pupils are ready for the future final-exam GCSE.

The course is highly practical and delegates will engage in activities that demonstrate teaching strategies that can secure good outcomes relating to the new programme of study.

This course is for:

• Teachers of Maths at KS3-4
• Heads of Maths

Ray will concentrate on the following aspects:

• The new KS3 programme of study for Maths: key features
• The big picture: Ofsted and looking for progress
• A range of teaching techniques, approaches and styles that can be used
• An approach to departmental action-planning to manage any required changes to long, medium and short term planning
• The demise of national curriculum levels: assessing without levels
• 'Raising the bar'? How to meet the needs of all learners
