[Maths-Education] Mathematics attainment for all conference, 18th June, Sheffield Hallam University

[Adams, Gill]

Dear all

As part of the launch of the Sheffield Institute of Education, you are invited to a free day conference for those interested in secondary mathematics teaching: teachers including NQTs, qualifying initial teacher education students and researchers and other professionals.  Based on the recent publication, Debates in Mathematics Education, edited by Dawn Leslie and Heather Mendick and published by Routledge, the theme of the conference will be research-based enquiry into social justice issues in mathematics education.

Our guest speakers are
Dr Heather Mendick, Brunel University
Professor Andy Noyes, University of Nottingham

Practitioner-led workshops will include:

  *   increasing attainment through problem solving
  *   low threshold, high ceiling tasks
  *   working as an NQT
  *   mathematics learning supported through philosophy for children
  *   enabling mathematics attainment through structured group work.

The conference is free but you need to register at Event registration<https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/mathematics-attainment-for-all-registration-11646018555>.

A full programme will be available shortly.  I do hope you are able to make it.

Best wishes
Hilary
